EXPLANATORY 


HE  BOOKS  DESCRIBED  IN  THIS  CATALOGUE 
are  brought  to  auction,  because  the  proprie 
tors  just  now  prefer  the  money  to  their 
books.  It  is  presumed  that  the  intelligent 
and  discriminating  purchasers  will  prefer  the 
books  to  their  money.  Both  parties  may  be 
thus  equally  benefited  by  the  transaction.  Hence  an  apology 
here  for  the  seller  would  be  as  much  out  of  place  as  one  for 
the  buyer.  But  this  Library  is  so  peculiar  and  so  off  the 
ordinary  that  some  explanation  seems  desirable  for  the  infor 
mation  of  the  buyers.  The  same  explanation  it  is  hoped  may 
promote  the  interest  of  the  sellers,  the  sale  thus  being  made 
to  realize  Adam  Smith's  idea  of  fair  trade,  a  good  bargain  for 
both  parties. 

The  Catalogue  is  intended  to  be  an  alphabetical  common- 
sense  one,  according  to  the  well  settled  rules  of  bibliography, 
but  many  exceptions  have  been  made  to  adapt  it  to  circum 
stances  and  the  convenience  of  sale  by  auction.  Many  lots 
are  misplaced  in  consequence  of  the  books  coming  in  too  late, 
and  others  to  avoid  as  far  as  possible  duplicates  being  sold  the 
same  day.  The  titles,  especially  those  in  foreign  languages, 
were  written  by  several  hands,  and  at  various  times,  with 
more  or  less  fulness.  The  editor,  therefore,  not  having,  in 
most  cases,  the  books  before  him  to  refer  to,  has  had  some 
difficulty  in  harmonizing  and  correcting  the  titles.  No  one 
can  know  better  than  himself  the  imperfections  and  short 
comings  of  this  Catalogue,  but  his  experience  has  taught  him 


iv  Explanatory 

that  it  is  better  to  let  the  generous  reader  have  the  pleasure 
of  finding  out  the  mistakes  for  himself  rather  than  attempt  to 
indicate  and  apologize  for  them.  Let  him  that  is  free  from 
errata  in  his  own  life  point  them  out  and  crow.  The  writer 
will  reciprocate  on  opportunity.  No  man  ever  yet,  he  thinks, 
printed  a  catalogue  perfect  in  the  eyes  of  others.  The  editor 
has  printed  enough  of  them  to  cause  his  youthful  pride  of  ac 
curacy  to  be  completely  taken  out  of  him,  and  he  is  always 
willing  to  help  take  it  out  of  others  by  encouraging  them  in 
the  same  laudable  labors. 

It  has  become  a  custom  in  this  enlightened  country  to  em 
phasize,  at  the  expense  of  the  seller,  the  importance  of  rare 
and  valuable  books  by  printing  very  long  titles  and  filling 
out  the  pages  with  leads  and  blank  spaces.  The  editor  has 
ventured  to  depart  somewhat  from  this  custom,  by  endeavor 
ing  in  most  cases  to  render  the  titles  short  and  concise,  and 
then  lead  out  the  pages  with  notes  in  small  type.  He  has 
done  this  for  several  reasons.  First,  by  printing  in  two  hun 
dred  and  fifty  pages  what  would  otherwise  occupy  five  hun 
dred,  the  expense  is  less,  which  to  a  frugal  mind  is  equivalent 
to  virtue.  Second,  the  Catalogue  to  his  eye  being  more  solid 
and  compact  presents  a  comelier  appearance. 

Virtue  to  all  complexions  giveth  grace, 
But  Virtue  graced  is  by  a  good  face. 

Third,  having  in  the  course  of  many  years  of  bibliographical 
study  and  research  picked  up  various  isolated  grains  of  knowl 
edge  respecting  the  early  history,  geography,  and  bibliography 
of  this  Western  Hemisphere  which  he  has  not  found  it  con 
venient  hitherto  to  book  in  appropriate  places,  the  writer  has 
thought  it  well  to  pigeon-hole  the  facts  here  by  inserting  notes 
short  and  long  in  the  Catalogue.  That  he  may  not  be  guilty 
any  longer  of  the  indiscretion  of  planting  his  corn  where 
the  crows  will  pull  it  up,  as  heretofore,  he  has  caused  to  be 
printed  on  the  back  of  the  title  Uncle  Samuel's  usual  notice 
to  the  crows.  To  the  intelligent  collector  whose  object  is  to 
fill  his  head,  this  padding  of  small  type  will,  it  is  hoped,  be  of 


Explanatory  v 

no  offence.  The  loud  and  indifferent  collector  whose  noble 
object  is  to  fill  his  shelves  will  doubtless  readily  pardon  and 
skip  this  minion  leading. 

Fourth,  and  the  previous  reasons  but  lead  up  to  this,  because 
a  very  considerable  proportion  of  the  books  described  in  this 
volume  belonged  to  the  library  of  his  late  honored  father,  the 
editor  has  thought  by  rendering  it  a  trifle  more  than  an  or 
dinary  sale  catalogue,  he  might  thereby  erect  an  appropriate 
and  affectionate  memorial  to  one  whose  memory  to  him  is 
dearer  than  can  well  be  expressed  on  cold  marble.  He  has 
aimed,  therefore,  to  achieve  for  his  parent  a  pious  monument 
that,  in  warm  and  comfortable  libraries,  long  after  his  books 
have  been  dispersed  and  the  sale  forgotten,  may  be  referred 
to  by  intelligent  bibliographers  of  American  history,  and  be 
consulted  by  antiquaries  with  interest  and  respect.  This 
Catalogue  therefore  has  been  made,  after  the  manner  of  the 
old  Vermont  Farmer  of  Barnet,  to  stand  square  on  its  own 
taps,  with  a  fashion  of  its  own,  full  of  odd  titles,  quaint  con 
ceits,  originality,  personal  anecdote,  disjointed  historical  con 
nections,  and  general  intelligence.  Those  who  knew  the 
mirth-loving,  pains-taking  Founder  and  first  President  of  the 
Vermont  Historical  and  Antiquarian  Society,  it  is  hoped,  will 
recognize  the  effigies  ;  those  who  did  not  are  asked  to  take  it 
on  trust,  calling  to  mind  that  all  outside  of  the  ordinary  sale 
catalogue  is  intended  as  a  filial  memorial 

STEPHANI  ET  AMICORUM. 

•  HEXRY  STEVENS,  Senior,  was  born  at  Barnet,  Vermont,  on 
the  13th  day  of  December,  1791,  and  died  on  the  old  home 
stead,  on  the  30th  of  July,  1867,  at  the  age  of  seventy-five, 
leaving  his  house  full  of  books  and  historical  manuscripts,  the 
delight  of  his  youth,  the  companions  of  his  manhood,  and  the 
solace  of  his  old  age.  His  father  was  Enos  Stevens,  who  from 
the  age  of  twelve  to  fifteen  was  three  years  a  captive  among 
the  St  Francis  Indians  of  Canada,  was  one  of  the  original  pro 
prietors  and  first  settlers  of  Barnet  under  a  New  Hampshire 
Grant,  was  married  at  the  age  of  fifty  and  enriched  his  State 


vi  Explanatory 

with  ten  Green  Mountain  Boys  and  Girls.  The  father  of  Enos 
was  Capt.  Phineas  Stevens,  born  at  Sudbury,  Massachusetts, 
in  1707,  served  his  country  in  the  Indian  Wars,  and  in  April 
1747  defended  successfully  '  Fort  N°  Four '  on  Connecticut 
River  against  an  attack  of  a  large  body  of  French  and  In 
dians,  for  which  gallant  action  he  was  complimented  with  a 
sword  by  Admiral  Sir  Charles  Knowles,  whose  fleet  was 
then  in  Boston  Harbor,  the  place  thenceforward  being  called 
Charlestown,  after  Sir  Charles.  He  was  sent  to  Canada  in 
1752,  by  the  Government  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  to  redeem 
captives.  Not  finding  enough  of  them  for  his  money,  and 
meeting  with  a  New  Hampshire  young  man  named  John  Stark, 
he  ventured  to  buy  him  on  his  own  account  of  the  Indians 
by  exchanging  a  Shetland  pony  for  which  he  paid  515  livres, 
and  so  restored  to  his  friends  the  future  hero  of  Bennington. 
Phineas  was  the  son  of  Joseph,  who  was  the  son  of  Cyprian, 
who  was  the  son  of  Cyprian  senior,  who  was  the  son  of 
Thomas  of  London,  a  supporter  and  friend  of  the  Massachu 
setts  Colony,  who  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Stevens  of  Devon 
shire,  one  of  the  assignees  of  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  of  his  Patent 
of  Virginia,  of  March  1585. 

To  return,  Henry  and  the  late  Thaddeus  Stevens,  born 
within  seven  miles  of  each  other,  were  chums  in  boyhood  at 
Peacham  Academy,  and  warm  friends  through  life.  Leaving 
the  Academy  at  the  age  of  twelve  with  only  a  taste  of  books, 
and,  as  he  expressed  it,  graduating  at  Nature's  University, 
he  became  a  self- taught  man.  The  eldest  of  ten  children,  he 
became  their  guardian  and  educator.  The  father  of  a  large 
family,  he  sought  only  to  provide  his  children  with  education, 
leaving  them  to  hoe  their  own  rows.  He  was  a  farmer, 
an  inn-keeper,  a  mill-owner,  a  landlord,  and  the  squire  by 
courtesy  of  Stevens  Village.  An  antiquarian  and  a  book  col 
lector,  his  house  was  the  resort  of  the  intelligent.  He  was  a 
liberal  and  public-spirited  citizen,  a  disinterested  politician, 
an  impartial  justice,  an  industrious  representative  in  the  State 
Legislature,  an  obliging  postmaster,  a  promoter  of  agriculture, 
and  an  advocate  of  temperance.  A  kind  neighbor,  he  pastured 


Explanatory  vii 

the  widow's  cow,  protected  the  fatherless,  and  annually  sup 
plemented  his  minister-tax  with  one  load  of  hay  and  two 
bushels  of  white  beans.  He  was  a  collector  and  reader  of 
newspapers,  a  hoarder  of  pamphlets,  and  a  gatherer  of  the  un- 
considered  trifles  of  the  day.  He  lectured  on  Temperance,  Ag 
riculture,  and  Education,  and  contended  that  Vermont  should 
be  manured  all  over  with  school-houses.  He  was  a  strong  ad 
vocate  of  internal  improvements  and  domestic  manufactures. 
Through  life  he  was  a  wool-grower  and  a  protectionist,  and 
his  clothes  were  homespun.  In  knowledge  of  the  statistics  of 
his  county  few  were  his  equals,  and  none  was  his  superior  in 
the  history  of  his  own  State  and  the  early  Green  Mountain 
Boys.  He  was  a  confidential  agent  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  at  Washington,  for  collecting  information  respecting 
the  New  England  manufactures,  and  the  State  of  Vermont 
owes  to  him  the  collection  and  arrangement  of  her  Historical 
Papers. 

Many  of  his  books  and  historical  pamphlets  like  those  from 
Washington's  library,  found  their  way  through  the  writer  into 
the  library  of  the  British  Museum.  In  February,  1857,  some 
2000  volumes  of  Vermont  newspapers,  3000  tracts,  and  many 
of  his  valuable  historical  manuscripts  were  burnt  with  the 
State  House  at  Montpelier,  an  irreparable  loss  to  himself  and 
to  posterity.  His  widow  now  possesses  about  250  large  quarto 
and  folio  volumes  of  historical  manuscripts  relating  to  the  New 
Hampshire  Grants,  to  Vermont,  and  to  the  Controversy  with 
New  York,  among  which  are  the  Ethan  and  Ira  Allen  papers, 
the  papers  of  the  first  three  Surveyors-general,  miscellaneous 
correspondence,  etc.  All  the  rest  of  his  library  not  otherwise 
appropriated  is  included  in  this  Catalogue.  In  many  volumes 
will  be  found  his  book-plate,  comprising  the  arms  of  Vermont 
over  his  name  and  address,  and  these  lines  :  — 

In  Paradise,  the  tree  But  Heaven  in  mercy  since 

Of  knowledge  was  the  pride ;  Does  him  who  tastes  forgive; 

By  God's  supreme  decree,  To  know,  is  no  offence; 

The  man  who  eat  —  then  died.  Now,  he  who  eats  —  shall  live. 

Mr  Stevens  represented  Barnet  two  years   in    the    State 


viii  Explanatory 

Legislature.  He  was  no  speaker,  but  generally  managed  to 
carry  his  point  by  force  of  native  talent  and  ingenious  sur 
prise.  At  one  time  the  Legislature  was  at  a  dead-lock  in  the 
appointment  of  some  officer  and  neither  party  would  yield. 
The  opposition  contended  that  the.  candidate  was  not  equal 
to  the  place.  The  gentleman  from  Barnet  gained  the  floor. 
"  Mr  Speaker,"  said  he,  "  may  I  ask  if  this  candidate  is  the 
man  who  unarmed  recently  hugged  a  bear  to  death."  "  He 
is."  "  Then,  sir,  I  think  he  is  not  the  man  to  flinch  under 
any  circumstances,  —  he  shall  have  my  vote,"  and  amid  roars 
of  laughter  the  candidate  was  unanimously  elected.  Years 
after  he  generally  attended  the  Legislature,  a  self-elected 
member  of  the  Third  House.  For  several  years  the  Third 
House  was  regularly  organized  and  held  its  daily  sessions  like 
the  other  two  branches.  The  printed  journals  and  proceed 
ing  are  full  of  wit  and  humor.  Mr  Stevens  was  annually 
elected  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Useless  Information  and 
Antiquarian  Lower.  With  a  mind  well  stored  with  wise  saws 
and  modern  instances  he  frequently  brought  down  the  House 
by  a  knack  Samson  never  dreamed  of.  His  occasional  re 
ports  are  said  to  have  drawn  crowds  and  applause.  In  his 
historical  mousings  in  garrets,  among  sequestered  hen-coops 
and  old  barrels,  he  chanced  to  light  upon  about  a  bushel  of  old 
Continental  and  State  money,  redeemed  but  never  properlr 
cancelled.  This  he  called  his  "  Antiquarian  Currency,"  and 
with  it  bought  in  his  travels  through  the  country  vast  numbers 
of  old  books,  papers,  tracts,  etc.  Educated  in  the  good  oid 
school  of  unswerving  integrity  and  no  trowsers-pockets,  he 
could  not  bear  to  see  the  rising  generation  standing  around 
the  stores,  the  taverns,  and  the  railway  stations,  wearing 
whiskers,  chewing  tobacco,  with  hands  in  their  breeches. 
The  less  hopeless  of  these  youths  he  delighted  to  rescue.  In 
his  pocket-book  the  writer  found  the  following  :  — 

$20.  BURLINGTON,  June  2d,  A.  D.  i860. 

In  consideration  of  Twenty  Dollars  of  Antiquarian  Money  received  of 

my  friend  Henry  Stevens,  I  promise  upon  honor  to  keep  my  hands  out 

of  my  trowsers-pockets  for  the  space  of  two  months,  except  in  case  of 

necessity.  W.  B.  RICH. 


Explanatory  ix 

To  the  remnants  of  the  library  of  such  a  man  are  added 
the  remainders  of  the  gatherings  of  years,  from  all  parts  of 
Europe  and  America,  of  one  of  his  sons ;  the  whole  forming 
the  unique  collection  brought  together  and  described  in  this 
Catalogue.  Ij  is  hardly  fair,  however,  to  call  this  compound 
a  Library,  since  it  is  too  miscellaneous,  too  disintegrated,  and 
too  incoherent.  But  it  is  just  the  collection  by  its  dispersion 
to  help  fill  important  gaps  in  public  and  private  libraries. 
It  is  ;n  many  respects  unlike  any  other  collection  ever  brought 
together  in  this  country.  The  first  impulse  of  a  librarian  or 
bibliographer  reading  the  Catalogue,  will  most  likely  be  to  ask, 
if  all  this  remain,  what  must  have  been  the  library  before  it 
was  picked  ?  There  is  scarcely  a  book  herein  described  that 
is  not. deserving  of  a  place  in  any  of  our  large  public  libraries ; 
and  yet  most  of  the  good  standard  every-day  works,  such  as 
"  no  library  should  be  without,"  and  which  everybody  wants, 
are  not  here.  That  is  just  it.  The  remainder  of  a  picked 
library  in  this  country  is  frequently  found  to  be  equivalent  to 
a  weeded  library.  The  part  left  is  often  the  best.  The  Ameri 
can  bibliographers  and  librarians,  with  notable  exceptions,  are 
gregarious  and  are  inclined  to  be  too  imitative,  running  in 
grooves.  There  is  the  Obadiah  Rich  groove,  the  Ternaux- 
Compans  groove,  and  the  Ander  Schiffahrt  groove.  Books 
described  by  these  worthies  go  off  like  hot  cakes,  and  are 
found  in  dozens  of  libraries,  public  and  private  ;  but  it  is  only 
the  rare  cognoscenti,  the  knowing  ones  of  a  thousand,  who 
ferret  out  the  unknown  and  undescribed  books  and  secure 
them.  One  may  safely  assert  that  not  one  quarter  of  the 
titles  of  the  books  pertaining  to  the  discovery,  exploration, 
and  development  of  our  Continent,  are  recorded  in  these  and 
other  manuals.  The  very  fact  that  a  book  of  this  kind  is  not 
so  recorded  is  a  sufficient  reason  why  it,  like  folly,  should  be 
shot  as  it  flies. 

One  often  hears  librarians  and  book  collectors  talk  of 
trash,  and  sees  them,  not  unfrequently,  decline  as  such  the 
plums  of  history  offered  them,  because,  forsooth,  they  do  not 
find  them  described  in  their  own  favorite  manuals,  or  because 


x  Explanatory 

they  are  translations,  or  written  in  a  language  they  cannot 
read.  Sirs,  there  is  no  such  thing  as  trash  in  our  historical 
literature,  or  in  the  historical  literature  of  any  language,  so 
far  as  it  relates  to  America.  You  may,  if  you  please,  apply 
that  disparaging  term  to  a  funeral  sermon  on  my  grandmother, 
and  I  may,  if  I  please,  entertain  a  like  opinion  of  the  one  on 
yours ;  yet  both  of  these  documents  might  very  properly  be 
preserved  in  the  public  libraries  of  a  nation  whose  hopes  and 
prospects  are  backed  by  its  genealogy,  its  biography,  and  its 
history.  It  is  amazing  to  see  how  light  is  the  mental  pabulum 
that  best  nourishes  some  minds,  while  others  require  nothing 
less  hearty  than  the  Novum  Organon  Baconis.  No  American 
probably  ever  wrote  or  owned  a  book  so  weak  but  there 
might  be  found  another  American  with  a  mind  just  strong 
enough  to  thrive  upon  it.  With  these  views  the  writer  un 
hesitatingly  declares  his  belief  that  this  collection,  well  suited 
to  varying  tastes  and  capacities,  is  as  nearly  exempt  from 
trash  as  any  one  probably  ever  offered  by  auction  to  the 
American  public.  The  collection  is  miscellaneous  and  valua 
ble  ;  but  the  proprietors  have  no  twinges  of  conscience  about 
breaking  it.  The  books  are  good  ones  and  generally  in  good 
condition,  many  well  bound  and  some  even  in  extravagant 
bindings,  or  they  are  in  a  good  state  for  binding  —  large, 
clean,  and  uncut.  Some  of  the  books,  it  is  true,  are  not 
adapted  to  the  capacities  of  all  collectors,  any  more  than  all 
collectors  are  fitted  to  possess  some  of  the  books  ;  but  the 
books  on  an  average  are  probably  of  as  high  a  quality  as  the 
average  of  the  collectors.  The  proprietors,  therefore,  on 
the  whole,  can  with  confidence  recommend  the  library  (ut 
vulgo)  as  one  eminently  well  calculated  for  dispersion.  In 
complete  in  itself,  it  will  go  far  towards  completing  others,  and 
filling  up  those  inconvenient  chinks  which  every  earnest  stu 
dent  of  American  history  finds  in  our  libraries,  and  will  con 
tinue  to  find  until  librarians  and  committees  turn  over  a  new 
leaf,  and  give  their  attention  to  the  collection  of  the  true  sources 
of  American  history,  regardless  of  the  language  in  which  they 
are  written,  measuring  their  purchases  rather  by  the  capacities 


Explanatory  xi 

of  their  purses  and  shelves  than  by  their  knowledge  of  the 
subjects.  It  is  proverbial  that  the  better  and  more  conscien 
tious  of  the  American  historians  break  down  with  their  labors 
before  they  have  collected  their  materials,  or  they  are  driven 
abroad  to  mouse  out  in  foreign  countries  and  foreign  lan 
guages  what  ought  to  be  at  home  at  their  service  in  the 
public  libraries.  It  is  requiring  too  much  of  our  historians, 
besides  their  reference  books  and  general  tools,  to  oblige 
them  to  procure  for  themselves  these  thousand-and-one  ex 
pensive  out-of-the-way  helps.  They  should  belong  to  the 
public,  and  should  be  collected  rather  than  the  common 
every-day  ones,  if  all  cannot  be  had. 

When  it  is  fairly  comprehended  by  our  curators,  with  their 
large  funds  and  hungry  alcoves,  that  probably  more  than  five 
sixths  of  all  the  books  pertaining  to  the  discovery,  exploration, 
and  development  of  our  young  Hemisphere  born  since  the 
Prin ting-Press,  are  in  the  languages  of  Spain,  Portugal,  Italy, 
Holland,  and  France,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  even  committees 
who  cannot  read  a  word  of  these  languages,  or  librarians  who 
cannot  catalogue  the  books,  rather  than  other  Motleys  should 
be  driven  abroad  in  search  of  what  ought  to  be  found  at 
home,  will  venture  to  buy  such  books  on  trust,  on  the  new 
and  growing  principle  that  a  public  library  should  lead  and 
not  follow  the  wants  of  scholars.  The  narrow  remark,  hith 
erto  often  heard,  that  Dutch  books  are  not  read,  and  the 
Portuguese  ones  never  called  for,  will  probably  not  much 
longer  be  repeated  by  librarians  who  make  any  pretensions  to 
the  collection  of  materials  of  American  history.  One  might 
as  well  attempt  to  write  the  history  of  New  England  with 
out  a  knowledge  of  the  English  language,  as  a  history  of  New 
York  without  the  Dutch,  or  of  Brazil  without  the  Portu 
guese,  of  Mexico  without  the  Spanish,  or  Canada  without  the 
French.  A  very  considerable  proportion  of  our  earliest  and 
best  geographical  books  are  in  Latin  and  no  other  language. 
Many  of  our  earliest  maps  are  by  German  geographers ;  and 
in  order  to  comprehend  their  lines  and  see  as  they  saw,  the 
modern  historian  must  divest  himself  of  his  native  shackles,

stand  in  their  shoes,  take  the  same  inland  views,  and  study 
under  the  same  circumstances.  He  must  read  the  same  re 
ports  of  the  navigators,  in  the  same  languages,  and  he  will 
most  likely  by  this  process  see  the  blunders  that  very  early 
confused  the  geographers,  and  have  since  puzzled  the  histo 
rians.  Bring  all  these  books,  maps,  and  languages  together, 
and  the  sun  will  rise.  We  shall  then  ascertain  our  historical 
bearings,  and  know  whither  and  how  far  we  have  drifted 
these  four  hundred  years.  Our  moorings  to  the  apron-strings 
of  the  Old  World  will  be  cut,  and  the  two  hemispheres  will 
revolve  as  loving  companions  and  equals  in  the  waltz  of  the 
spheres.  It  is  difficult  at  this  late  day  to  attempt  anything 
like  a  complete  collection  of  the  history  and  literature  of  the 
Old  World,  but  it  is  unpardonable  to  neglect  that  of  the 
New.  The  mere  difficulty  of  language  is  not  insurmountable. 
Did  not  an  editor  of  the  North  American  Review  learn  the 
Spanish  language  that  he  might  write  understandingly  of  the 
South  American  Republics  ?  And  would  not  Southey's 
History  of  Brazil  have  been  a  far  better  book  had  he  given 
the  same  prominence  to  the  numerous  Dutch  works  on  his 
subject  that  he  did  to  the  Portuguese  ? 

Some  folks  affect  to  despise  translations,  and  divers  edi 
tions.  It  is  not  so  with  the  true  historian  and  experienced 
researcher.  A  good  translation  is  itself  occasionally  a  useful 
comment  on  the  original  work,  and  moreover,  the  translator 
being  often  better  up  in  the  subject  treated  than  the  author 
himself,  sometimes  corrects  many  errors,  and  makes  valuable 
additions.  There  are  dozens  of  such  examples  recorded  in 
this  Catalogue,  /.  i.  see  N°  878  Hearne,  and  N°  1562  Pike. 
Again,  other  important  books  are  known  to  us  only  through 
translations,  as  N°  460,  the  Life  of  Columbus  by  his  son.  A 
comparison  of  the  English  and  French  editions  of  N°  249, 
Bouquet's  Account  of  the  Expedition  against  the  Ohio  In 
dians,  is  a  notable  instance  in  favor  of  the  translation,  which 
contains  a  valuable  Life  of  Bouquet,  not  in  the  original.  The 
superiority  of  many  Dutch  editions  over  the  original  works  is 
proverbial.  The  plates  and  maps  are  almost  always  far  supe-

rior,  and  the  translator  is  generally  an  expert.  The  French, 
English,  German,  Spanish,  Swedish,  and  American  books 
relating  to  America  translated  into  Dutch  are  very  numerous, 
and  generally,  in  some  respects,  possess  points  superior  to  the 
originals,  insomuch  that,  as  far  as  the  department  of  Amer 
ican  history  is  concerned,  all  such  books  should  be  accessible 
somewhere  in  America.  On  the  other  hand,  translations  are 
important  sometimes  from  their  very  badness  or  untrust- 
worthiness,  and  should  be  preserved  in  our  most  important 
libraries  as  a  means  of  tracing  to  their  true  source  misstate- 
ments  and  falsehoods.  How  many  misstatements  are  attrib 
uted  to  Herrera,  which  can  be  traced  no  nearer  that  author 
than  Capt.  John  Stevens'  English  translation  and  abridg 
ment,  in  six  volumes  ?  It  is  absolutely  necessary  to  study 
this  latter  book  to  see  where  so  many  English  and  American 
authors  have  taken  incorrect  facts.  So  of  many  French  and 
German  translations  which  are  the  parents  of  errors  sworn 
on  to  the  original  authors. 

W  orse  still,  it  is  not  unfrequently  necessary  for  an  historian 
to  be  acquainted  with  a  book  only  to  be  certain  that  it  is 
good  for  nothing.  There  are  many  such  in  this  Catalogue, 
and  some  of  them  will  very  properly  bring  good  prices  too. 
They  have  good  titles,  and  read  well.  Such  a  book  is  Pe 
ters'  History  of  Connecticut,  N°  486,  a  book  of  not  half 
the  historical  value  of  Knickerbocker's  New  York,  and  with 
out  any  of  its  wit.  Yet  it  has  often  been  quoted  by  French 
and  German  authors  as  true  history.  The  writer  has  before 
him  a  remarkable  book  of  this  good-for-nothing  kind,  of  ex 
cessive  rarity  if  not  unique.  It  was  reprinted  some  years 
ago  at  Rouen,  in  fifty  copies,  which  reprint  is  now  almost  as 
rare  as  the  original.  The  original  will  be  sought,  now  that 
its  title  has  got  into  catalogues,  as  ardently  as  if  it  had  any 
historical  value.  The  title  is,  "  Relation  du  Voyage  des 
Dames  Religieuses  Ursulines  de  Rouen,  a  la  Nouvelle  Orleans. 
Parties  de  France  le  22.  Fevrier  1727.  &  arrivez  a  la  Loui-

Small  octavo.  Chez  Antoine  le  Prevost,  Rouen,  1728." 
The  editor,  in  behalf  of  his  numerous  notes,  historical,  bio 
graphical,  explanatory,  geographical,  bibliographical,  gossipy, 
and  personal,  desires  it  to  be  understood  that  they  are  to  be 
taken  at  what  they  are  worth,  he  having  given  them  only 
where  he  had  something  to  say,  or  some  duty  to  perform  either 
to  himself  or  to  the  public,  and  that  they  are  not  designed  to 
force  up  the  prices  of  the  particular  lots  to  which  they  are 
attached  ;  but  are  intended  rather  to  shed  a  bibliographical 
flavor  over  the  entire  Catalogue.  Most  of  the  better  and 
rarer  lots  of  known  and  prime  importance  are  recorded  with 
out  comment,  as  Mather's  Magnalia,  Hazard's  State  Papers, 
etc.,  the  titles  sufficiently  explaining  themselves.  On  the 
other  hand,  many  of  the  more  elaborate  notes,  some  of  them 
not  complimentary  to  the  books,  will  cost  far  more  in  printing 
than  the  lots  will  sell  for.  Neither  has  he  indulged  in  over 
much  bibliographical  quiddling  about  the  mechanical  and 
manufacturing  points  of  the  books,  as  to  the  quantity  of  the 
paper,  the  quality  of  the  binding,  the  brilliancy  of  impres 
sions,  the  crushed  levant  (whatever  that  new-fangled  term 
may  mean)  and  the  number  of  copies  of  certain  recent  re 
prints,  the  inertia  of  which  on  shelves  it  is  hard  to  overcome. 
It  is  not  easy  to  convey  any  adequate  idea  of  a  large  un 
common  collection,  like  this,  short  of  a  patient  reading  of  the 
entire  Catalogue  from  end  to  end.  The  editor  therefore  has 
exercised  his  ingenuity  to  sweeten  the  labor,  and  thinks  per 
haps  it  may  bait  the  attention  of  the  indifferent  reader  to  be 
informed  that  in  the  General  Histories  of  North  and  South 
America  there  are  many  works  of  authors  such  as  Acosta, 
Anglerius,  Apollonius,  Barcia,  Barlseus,  Benzoni,  Clavigero, 
Eden,  Hazard,  Herrera,  Labat,  Laet,  Lafitau,  Las  Casas,  Pe 
ter  Martyr,  De  Solis,  Garcilasso  de  la  Vega,  etc.  In  local 
and  particular  history  of  Colonies,  States,  cities,  towns,  vil 
lages  and  parishes,  the  titles  are  too  many  to  specify  here. 
In  bibliography,  the  reader  is  invited  to  consult  the  Cata

to  Benedict  Arnold's  characteristic  Autograph  Letters  from 
Ticonderoga,  Fay's  urgent  letter  to  the  Green  Mountain 
Boys  to  reinforce  General  Gates  against  Burgoyne  ;  Gorton's

Book  of  Minutes  of  the  Corporation  for  New  England  in 
London  for  thirty  years,  1655-1685,  under  N°  1399.  For 
the  Indian  languages  of  America,  see  under  Avila,  Juan  de 
la  Anunciacion,  Mexico,  1575 ;  Paredes,  Tapia  Zenteno,  Vil- 
legas,  etc.  Works  pertaining  to  Canada,  Acadia,  and  the 
British  Provinces  generally  are  numerous,  some  of  which, 
as  rare  as  they  are  important,  may  be  seen  under  Canada, 
Champlain,  Charlevoix,  Cornutus.  Denys,  Examen,  Henne-

kenzie,  Memoires,  Montcalm,  Nova  Scotia,  Relation,  Shea's 
Publications,  Shirley,  Tanner,  Thevenot,  Thevet,  Tupper, 
and  Vimont.  Pertaining  to  New  England,  California,  New 
York,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  Florida,  the  Mississippi  Val 
ley,  the  Great  West  and  North  West,  the  works  are  numer 
ous  ;  and  equally  so  on  Mexico,  and  other  parts  of  Spanish 
America,  as  Brazil,  Paraguay,  Peru,  etc.  The  works  pertain 
ing  to  Washington,  Franklin,  and  Hamilton,  are  well  repre 
sented,  and  so  are  the  departments  of  early  geography  and 
discovery,  atlases,  maps,  the  Indians,  slavery,  colonies,  the  old 
French  War,  the  Stamp  Act,  the  Revolution,  tobacco,  statistics, 
etc.  Though  last  not  least,  there  is  a  large  number  of  works 
on  the  natural  history  of  this  Continent,  not  the  least  curious 
of  which  is  N°  2435,  wherein  the  learned  author  endeavors  to 
account  for  the  introduction  and  rapid  increase  of  Asses  in 
the  New  World.  He  says  nothing  however  about  their  being 
found  among  either  bibliographers  or  book  collectors.

This  copy  of  Acosta  is  a  rare  curiosity,  it  having  been  through  the  Inquisition  and 
thoroughly  expurgated.  It  probably  belonged  once  to  some  Convent  library 
in  Spain  or  Mexico,  where  the  monks  could  not  afford  to  destroy  their  books 
altogether.  So  the  official  Corriyidor  simply  ran  his  pen  through  the  wicked, 
dangerous  or  objectionable  words,  sentences,  or  paragraphs,  and  left  the  book 
on  the  shelves.  In  this  copy,  probably  one-tenth  of  the  whole  work  is  partially 
erased  with  pale-brown  ink,  in  little  snatches,  throughout  the  volume,  but  not 
so  as  to  prevent  its  being  read.

3  vols,fine  copy,  vellum,  Folio,  Madrid,  1749 

This  highly  important  Collection  of  the  earliest  and  best  Spanish  works  on  the 
Discovery  and  History  of  America,  has  now  become  exceedingly  rare.  The 
learned  and  enterprising  editor  died  while  the  various  works  were  passing 
through  the  press.  They  are  all  printed  as  separate  and  distinct  works.  Some 
of  the  parts  were  sold  separately  and  others  were  not  cared  for.  The  labor  of 
Collection  was  posthumous.  It  is  therefore  difficult  to  tell  precisely  how  the 

^several  pieces  should  be  arranged,  or  what  constitutes  an  entirely  complete  set, 
as  the  printing  occupied  more  than  twenty  years.  This  set  is  bound  in  three 
volumes,  and  contains,  Vol.  I.  1.  The  Life  of  Christopher  Columbus  by  his  son 
Ferdinand,  retranslated  into  Spanish  from  the  Italian  of  Alfonso  de  Ulloa,  128  pp. ; 

2.  The  Second,  Third  and  Fourth  Relations  of  Cortes  (the  first  lost)  150  pp.  ; 

3.  Three   Relations  sent  to  Cortes  by  Alvarado  and  Godoy,  pp.  157-173.     4.

This  rare  book  has  hitherto  been  valued  by  American  Collectors,  mainly  because 
it  contains  an  early  reprint  of  the  celebrated  Letter  of  Columbus,  written  from 
Lisbon,  in  March,  1493,  to  Raphael  Sanxis,  respecting  his  discover}''  by  a  western 
route  of  certain  Islands  of  India  beyond  the  Ganges.  But  the  collection  of  these 
six  documents  in  one  volume  has  a  peculiar  appropriateness  in  exhibiting,  in  a 
striking  manner,  the  grand  features  of  the  gigantic  struggle  of  seven  hundred 
years  between  the  Christians  and  Mohammedans.  Mohammedanism  withstood  the 
Crusades  and  the  subsequent  wars,  but  it  yielded  after  the  fall  of  Granada,  when 
Columbus  gave  a  new  world  to  Christend'om,  and  the  Portuguese  went  forth  to 
explore  and  Christianize  the  East.

Benzoni  was  the  first  regular  European  traveller  in  the  New  World  who  published 
his  travels.  His  journeys  occupied  him  fourteen  years.  His  book  is  considered 
one  of  the  best  of  the  original  works.  The  16  wood-cuts  were  all  reproduced 
by  DeBry  in  his  great  work,  in  1592.

SUPPLEMENTI  CHRONICARUM,  Incip.  ab  exordio  mundi  usque 
in   Annum   Salutis,  1502.     In  the  original  vellum, 

fine   copy.  Folio,  Venetiis,  1503 

The  highest  interest  and  importance  attach  to  this  beautiful  volume  from  the 
fact  that  it  is  the  earliest  book  in  which  there  is  a  full  account  of  the  First  Voyage 
of  Columbus,  after  the  great  discoverer's  own  letter,  in  1493.  It  passed  through 
many  editions,  but  this  is  the  first  in  which  appears  the  Chapter  De  quatuor  per- 
maxtmis  insulis  inindiaextraorbemrwperinventis  [per  Christophorum  Columbuni.] 
Anything  printed  prior  to  the  first  Decade  of  Peter  Martyr,  in  1511  is  of  priceless 
value  in  early  American  History.  This  edition  though  alluded  toby  the  learned 
French  Bibliographer,  Monsieur  Harrisse,  is  not  described  by  him,  that  of  1506 
being  the  first  recorded  by  him.

Life  of  the  Author.  In  one  volume,  with  separate  and  collective 
title-pages  ;  fine  copy  in  Uue  morocco,  contents  lettered.  VERY 
RARE  IN  THIS  STATE.  8°  London,  1679-1695 

This  volume  is  from  the  library  of  the  ]ptQ  H.  T.  BUCKLK,  bearing  his  No. 
2,623,  on  his  bookplate.  On '  the  fly-leaf  is  carefully  pasted,  in  the  hand 
writing  of  Buckle,  an  analysis  of  the  volume,  with  a  biographical  sketch, 
beginning,  "Charles  Blount  was  born  in  1654,  and  in  1693  shot  himself  in 
consequence  of  the  absolute  refusal  of  his  late  wife's  sister  to  marry  him." 
Considerable  interest  attaches  to  this  volume  from  the  fact  that  it  has  been 
charged  upon  ETHAN  ALLEN  that  his  VERMONT  BIBLE,  or  Oracles  of  Reason, 
printed  at  Bennington  in  1788,  was  stolen  in  substance  from  Blount.  It  is 
not  charged  that  Allen  ever  saw  Blount's  Oracles,  but  that  among  his  friends 
he  numbered  one  Thomas  Young,  a  free-thinking,  roving  Englishman,  who 
acted  as  verger  to  Blount's  monuments,  but  had  not  the  courage  or  power 
to  book  or  publish  his  tenets.  In  Allen  he  found  a  willing  disciple,  ambi 
tious  of  literary  eminence.  Blount  believed  in  God,  one  and  indivisible;  in 
the  authenticity  of  the  Scriptures;  and  in  a  future  state  of  rewards  and  pun 
ishments;  but  denied  Original  Sin.  Allen  figures  up  at  about  the  same  total. 
"  Old  Ethan  ouce  said  with  significant  nod, 

Though  I  hold  not  with  Jesus,  I  know  there's  a  God  ; 

There's  a  devil  also ;  you  will  see  him  some  day, 

In  a  whirlwind  of  fire  take  Levi  away." 

Blount  himself  is  accused  of  stealing  and  translating  his  Oracles  from  a  French 
book  called  The  Hypothesis  of  the  Pros- Adamites.  Where  the  anonymous 
author  stole  his  Oracles  is  not  stated.  In  this  volume  is  a  great  deal,  both  by 
Blount  and  his  editor,  about  the  right  and  wrong  of  marrying  a  deceased 
wife's  sister.  He  would,  she  wouldn't.  So  still  arguing  from  the  same 
monitor  within,  and  believing,  that  "  I  myself  am  King  of  Me,"  shot  himself; 
and  hence  his  friendly  editor's  defence  of  suicide.  All  these  things  and  much 
more,  the  purchaser  of  this  curious  volume,  if  he  finds  the  thread,  may  spin  out 
by  himself.

12°  Printed  by  Rhoades  fy  Laughton,for  John  West,  1798 
From  this  small  book,  in  which  the  compiler  has  justly  shown  great  pride  in  his 
subject,  we  learn  that  BOSTON,  the  capital  of  the  State  of  Massachusetts,  having 
18,038  inhabitants  in  1790,  with  Hull,  Chelsea,  and  Hingham  constitutes  the 
County  of  Suffolk.  It  has  97  streets,  36  lanes,  26  alleys,  besides  18  courts,  etc., 
most  of  them  irregular.  "  and  not  very  convenient."  State  Street,  however,  is 
very  spacious,  "  and  being  on  a  line  with  Long  Wharf,  where  strangers  usually 
laud,  exhibits  a  flattering  idea  of  the  town."  The  foreign  and  domestic  trade  of 
Boston  is  very  considerable,  "  to  support  which  there  are  three  Banks,"  viz: 
The  Union,  discount  day  Tuesday;  the  Massachusetts,  discount  day  Monday; 
and  the  U.  S.  Branch,  discount  days  Mondays  and  Thursdays.  "  The  principal

manufactures  consist  of  rum,  loaf  sugar,  beer,  sail-cloth,  cordage,  wool  and 
cotton  cards,  playing  cards,  pot  and  pearl  ashes,  paper  hangings,  hats,  plate,  glass, 
tobacco,  and  chocolate.  There  are  30  distilleries,  2  breweries,  8  sugar-houses,  and 
eleven  ropewalks."  The  intercourse  with  the  country  is  considerable,  and  increas 
ing.  Already  "  on  the  great  road  between  this  and  New  Haven,  distant  164  miles," 
to  say  nothing  of  the  considerable  portions  of  the  world  beyond,  there  are  now 
20  coaches  and  100  horses  employed.  "  Attempts  have  been  made  to  change  the 
government  of  the  Town  from  its  present  form  to  that  of  a  city;  but  this  measure, 
not  according  with  the  Democratic  spirit  of  the  people,  has  as  yet  failed."  By  a 
MS.  note  of  a  former  possessor  we  learn  ^hat  "  SAMUEL  ADAMS,  retailer,  etc., 
Elliot  Street,  is  Town  Crier,"  with  his  office  at  71  Newbury  Street,  while  from 
page  136  we  learn  that  Abraham  Adams,  leather-dresser  and  breeches-maker,  72 
Newbury  Street,  is  "•Informer  of  Deer,"  while  Daniel  Bell  and  George  Hamlin 
are  the  Hogreeves.  Tlie  names  of  the  Fence  Viewers,  the  Cullers  of  Dry  Fish,  the 
Surveyors'  of  Hemp,  and  other  Public  Officers  are  all  given  on  pp.  135-137.  On 
pp.  146-8  is  a  full  list  of  the  stage  coaches  to  and  from  the  town,  from  which  it 
is  apparent  that  facilities  of  travel  are  not  slight.  Mail  coaches  for  New  York 
three  times  a  week,  through  in  three  days  and  one  hour.  To  Albany  twice  a 
week,  through  in  three  days  and  six  hours.  Coaches  to  Providence",  Salem, 
Marblehead,  Dedhim,  Quincy,  Dorchester  and  Milton,  Medford  and  Watertown, 
every  day  (Sundays  excepted),  while  to  Cambridge  atid  Koxbury  go  two  stages 
every  day.

specting  the  discovery  of  America  by  the  Danes,  in  the  eleventh  century.  Dr. 
Kohl  has  recently  revived  the  fables  of  this  mediaeval  author,  and  built  up  a 
goodly  historical  structure  on  their  foundation.

This  William  Stephens  resided  sixteen  3'ears  in  Georgia,  and  was  the  first  Secre 
tary  of  that  Colony  and  keeper  of  its  BLACK  BOOK,  a  list  of  the  disreputable 
characters  that  were  induced  to  become  voluntary  and  involuntary  emigrants 
on  the  pious  founding  of  that  Colony.  Into  this  book  were  posted  "their  ante 
cedents,  and  their  actions  and  behaviour  for  three  years  after  landing  in  Geor 
gia.  This  Black  Book  still  exists  in  England  and  contains  a  mine  of  valuable 
American  genealogical  materials.  Few  families  in  this  country  can  boast  of 
genealogical  trees  of  harder  wood ;  or  can  trace  more  minute  historical  and 
genealogical  particulars  of  their  English  ancestors  than  those  who  have  de 
scended  from  some  of  the  early  emigrants  to  Georgia,  whose  names  were  so 
carefully  recorded  by  William  Stephens,  the  First  Historian  of  that  Colony. 
These  volumes  with  other  early  records  of  Georgia,  filling  21  folio  volumes, 
were  once,  under  promise  of  secrecy,  deposited  with  the  writer  for  four  hours,  and 
offered  for  £500.  He  offered  £300  and  lost  the  prize.  When  by  death  the 
obligation  of  secrecy  was  removed  he  invited  the  distinguished  baronet  who 
now  possesses  the  collection,  to  breakfast,  and  communicated  to  him  the  circum 
stances.  Within  three  days  the  collection  changed  hands,  and  now  slumbers 
in  the  West  of  England.  When  it  shall  wake  to  the  public  use,  this  book  and 
everything  else  pertaining  to  William  Stephens  will  awaken  to  new  interest.

377  CLAVIGERO  (FRANCISCO  SAVERIO)  STORIA  ANTICHA  DEL 
MESSICO.     Maps  and  numerous  engravings,     ^  vols,  half 
morocco,  uncut,  very  fine  copy.  4°  In  Cesena,  1780 

CLAVIGERO  was  a  native  of  Vera  Cruz  (born  1731,  died  at  Bologna,  1787),  a  Jesuit 
and  a  thorough  antiquarian,  who  spent  thirty  years  of  active  research  into 
the  archaeology  and  antiquities  of  Mexico.  His  "book,  originally  published  in 
Italian,  is  a  mine  of  precious  historical  documents,  and  contains  valuable  lists  of 
others  in  the  Mendoza,  the  Vatican  and  the  Boturini  collections.  All  the  other 
books  that  have  been  elaborated  since  on  the  same  subject,  instead  of  superseding 
Clavigero's,  have  tended  rather  to  magnify  its  importance. 

378  CLAVIGERO   (F.  S.)  The   History  of  Mexico,  collected  from

This  German  translation  of  Clavigero  was  made  from  the  English  by  Cullen,  who 
took  his  from  the  original  Italian.  The  German  editor  has  added  notes  and  illus 
trations.  Many  of  the  archaeological  blunders  of  German  writers  on  Mexico  are 
traceable  to  this  double  translation.

Considerable  interest  attaches  to  this  very  rare  book,  in  consequence  of  the 
alarm  that  it  raised  in  New  England,  and  the  litigation  that  ensued.  The  book 
itself  is  Leslie's  well  known  Short  and  Easie  Method,  but  in  reprinting  it  Check- 
ley  appended  a  Discourse  concerning  Episcopacy,  wherein  he  endeavors  to 
prove  that  Dissenters  not  being  Episcopally  ordained,  are  no  ministers,  etc., 
and  comments  rather  harshly  upon  the  Church  Courses  of  New  England.  This 
gave  great  offence  and  Checkley  was  prosecuted  in  1724  in  the  Inferior  Court  of 
Boston  for  publishing  "  a  false  and  scandalous  libel."  He  was  convicted,  but 
appealed  to  the  Superior  Court,  where  after  a  long  speech  in  his  own  defence, 
the  jury  brought  in  a  verdict  against  him.  Checkley  tnen  put  in  a  "  Plea  in  ar 
rest  of  Judgment,"  which  is  given  in  extenso  in  his  speech,  but  the  Court  sen 
tenced  him  to  pay  £50  to  the  king,  and  give  security  for  his  good  behavior. 
The  whole  story  is  told  in  the  above  books,  in  Thomas's  History  of  Printing,

596  DRAKE   (MRS.  JOANA)   TRODDEN    DOWN    STRENGTH,  by 
the   God  of  Strength,  or,  Mrs.   Drake  Revived,  showing  her 
strange  and  rare  Case,  great  and  manifold  afflictions,  for  tenne 
years  together.     Related  by  her  friend  Hart  On-hi.      Vellum, 
short  copy,  some  leaves  clipped.  16°  London,  1647 

The  interest  to  New  Englanders  of  this  curious  book  centres  not  in  the  main 
subject  but  in  what  is  incidentally  told  of  one  of  her  spiritual  advisers.  Mrs. 
Drake  was  a  half  crazed  religious  enthusiast,  whose  spiritual  health  required 
constant  wrestling  with  Satan  and  Doctors  of  Divinity.  Possessed  of  property, 
her  husband  procured  the  Rev.  Mr.  Dod,  who  for  three  years  disputed  con 
stantly  with  all  her  temptations  and  objections,  "  and  was  able  to  answer  all," 
but  being  obliged  to  leave,  he  looked  about  for  another  helper.  u  In  which  in 
terim,  notice  was  given  unto  him  of  one  Mr.  HOOKER  then  at  Cambridge,  now 
in  New  England:  A  great  Scholar,  an  acute  Disputant,  a  strong  learned,  a  wise 
modest  man,  every  way  rarely  qualified;  who  being  a  Non-conformitan  in 
judgment,  not  willing  to'  trouble  himselfe  with  Presentative  Livings,  was  con 
tented  and  persuaded  by  Mr.  Dod  to  accept  of  that  poore  Living  of  40/.  per 
annum ;  Mr.  Drake  her  Husband  being  a  worthy  well-beloved  Gentleman,  and 
able  to  procure  his  liberty,  and  retaine  him  still  in  the  same:  This  worthy  man 
accepted  of  the  place,  having  withall,  his  dyet  and  lodging  at  Esher  Mr.  Drake's 
house."  p.  117.  "  This  man,  Mr.  Hooker  being  a  good,  acute,  smart  Preacher 
when  he  listed,  besides  that  information  Mr.  Dod  had  given  him,  was  so  wise, 
first  to  try  her  spirit,"  etc.  p.  119.  "  For  Mr.  Hooker  being  newly  come  from 
the  University  had  a  new  answering  methode  (though  the  same  things)  where 
with  shee  was  mervellously  delighted,"  etc.  p.  120.  Mr.  Hooker  lived  long  in 
this  family,  till  she  imagined  "  her  time  on  earth  was  but  of  small  continuance. 
About  which  time  it  fell  out,  that  Mr-  Hooker  also  having  acted  his  part  with 
her,  and  done  his  best,  to  comfort,  uphold  and  rectifie  her  spirit,  so  fitting  her 
for  mercy,  as  nothing  remained  to  be  done  but  a  full  gaile  of  spirituall  winde  to 
blow  upon  her,  to  bring  forth  her  fruit,  that  b}'  God's  providence  he  was  mar 
ried  unto  her  waiting-woman :  After  which  both  of  them  having  lived  some  time 
after  with  her,  and  he  cal'd  to  be  Lecturer  at  Chelmsford  in  Essex,  they  both 
left  her,"  etc.  These  early  glimpses  of  one  of  the  most  honored  of  our  New 
England  fathers,  are  refreshing.

"When  the  collectors,  bibliographers,  librarians  and  public  libraries  of  this  country 
shall  turn  their  attention  to  the  collection  of  ths  true  sources  of  early  American 
history,  regardless  of  the  language  in  which  they  are  written,  this  magnificent 
collection  of  voyages,  compiled  by  ISAAC  COMMELIN  of  Amsterdam,  will  be 
better  appreciated  than  it  is  now.  A  mere  glance  at  the  table  of  Contents  will 
show  its  inestimable  value  to  the  historian  and  geographer  of  the  East  as  well 
as  the  West.  When  it  is  comprehended  that  more  than  one  half  of  these 
important  voyages  are  here  printed  for  the  first  time,  even  Committees  who  can 
not  read  a  word  of  the  language  in  which  they  are  printed,  and  Librarians  who 


Bibliotheca  Historica. 

cannot  catalogue  the  works,  will  venture  to  buy  them  on  trust,  on  the  new  and 
growing  principle  that  a  public  library  should  lead  and  not  follow  the  demands 
of  scholars.  Isaac  Commelin  was  born  in  Amsterdam  in  1598,  and  died  there 
in  J676.  He  was  an  author  of  some  eminence,  but  this  is  his  magnum  opus, 
rivalling,  if  not  exceeding  in  intrinsic  value  the  better  known  and  more  famous 
collection  of  DKBKY  and  HULSUKS.  These  two  volumes  contain  the  following

cerned,"  enclosing  a  copy  of  a  dispatch  just  received  from 
GENERAL  GATES,  which   the   General  requests  may  be  for 
warded  to  the  Green  Mountain  Boys  without  a  moment's  de 
lay.     In  good  preservation,  one  page  folio,  1777 

This  spirited  appeal  to  the  GREEN  MOUNTAIN  BOYS  ends  thus :  —  "It  seems  that 
your  assistance  can  never  be  more  wanted  than  at  this  critical  moment.  The 
armies  are  now  in  such  Position  as  renders  it  impracticable  for  the  Enemy  to 
avoid  an  Action,  and  it  is  a  thing  almost  impossible  for  them  to  Retreat.  There 
fore  if  you  should  now  instantly  give  your  assistance  you  may  have  it  in  your 
power  to  do  yourselves  and  country  a  greater  service.  So  favorable  a  prospect 
of  Success  in  the  Northern  Department  never  before  appeared.  Pray  exert 
yourselves  this  once,  and  the  matter  cannot  detain  you  long."  The  Boys  did 
exert  themselves,  nor  were  they  long  detained  by  Burgoyne.  That  distinguished 
General  retired  to  Cambridge  and  the  Boys  returned  to  the  mountains.

to  England  and  became  "  Minister  of  the  Gospel  at  Shalford  in  Essex,"  from 
whence  he  was  ejected  in  1662  for  Nonconformity.  He  then  resumed  his  prac

is  wholly  unknown  to  the  American  historian,  though  it  has  played  no  inconsid

of  infidels  generally  was  abridged,  altered  and  adapted  by  the  Mexican  Mis

JUAN  FLORES  was  one  of  the  very  earliest  of  the  Romance  writers  of  Spain,  more 
than  three  quarters  of  a  century  before  Cervantes.  He  seems  to  have  exhausted 
his  inventive  powers  with  this  story.  It  first  appeared  in  3521,  under  the  title  of 
La  Histwia  de  Grisel  y  Mirabella.  The  same  year  it  came  out  at  Milan  in  Italian. 
In  1530  it  reappeared  in  French  as  Le  juyement  Damour.  In  1535  it  came  out 
under  the  new  title  of  La  Deplaor able  fin  dejlamete,  appearing  in  many  editions, 
and  finally  after  having  been  translated  into  English  and  again  in  French,  it 
appeared  in  this  beautiful  form  in  four  languages,  in  four  columns,  side  by  side 
as  the  flistoria  de  Auretio  y  de  Ysabela.  It  has  been  printed  in  several  editions

and  languages  since,  but  none  is  comparable  to  this  in  rarity,  beauty,  or  quaint- 
ness  of  language  and  orthography.  That  Shakespeare  drew  inspiration  from  this 
little  book  in  his  Tempest,  has  be*en  many  times  asserted.  The  following  is  a 
sample  of  the  English:  "  If  me  coinge  (madame)  geueth  you  plesour  wherfore  of

como  curioso,  sacado  de  las  repetidas  observaciones,  y  experi-

de  los  rayos,  ha  estampado  en  Madrid  afio  de   1757,  en  su 
Diario  Philosophico  Don  Juan    Galisteo,  torn.  I.  num.  6. 
8pp.  4°  {At  end']  Reimpresso  en  Mexico,  [1758  ?] 

This  tract  treats  of  Dr.  Franklin's  discovery  of  the  use  of  the  lightning  rod.  and 
the  use  of  the  electrical  machine,  as  set  forth  in  his  publication  in  London  in 
1751,  how  the  matter  was  immediately  taken  up  in  France  and  Spain,  and  sub 
sequently  in  Mexico,  particularly  in  Pueblo  de  los  Angeles  where  there  is  usually 
much  lightning.  The  writer  differs  from  Franklin  and  other  philosophers  as  to 
the  form  and  shape  of  the  lightning  rods.  Instead  of  being  pointed  or  square,  as 
discussed  in  the  Royal  Society  of  London,  this  writer  thinks  the  form  of  a  cross 
would  better  secure  the  desired  protection.  The  Holy  Cross  always  strikes  cer 
tain  terror  into  the  malignant  spirits  of  the  clouds,  so  that  if  Franklin's  steel 
points  were  arranged  in  the  form  of  a  cross  they  would  become  a  more  secure 
protection  against  the  insults  of  the  lightning !

THIS  IMPORTANT  HISTORICAL  MANUSCRIPT,  one  of  the  ctrchetypa  of  the  Old 
Colony  is  deserving  of  a  permanent  abiding  place.  Notwithstanding  its  vicissi 
tudes  "it  has  seen  good  company.  It  bears  the  endorsements  of  THOMAS  PRINCE 
and  GOVERNOR  HUTCHINSON,  showing  that  it  has  been  under  the  hands  of  those 
distinguished  historians.  In  1842  the  writer  purchased  it  in  Connecticut,  and 
soon  after  lent  it  for  a  short  time  to  Col.  PETER  FORCE  who  made  good  use  of 
it.  It  next,  in  1844,  passed  into  the  hands  of  EDWARD  A.  CROWNINSHIELD  at 
a  cost  of  $50,  in  our  golden  days.  After  having  rested  there  for  fifteen  years  it 
passed  over  to  London  with  *Mr.  Crowninshield's  library,  being  estimated  in 
that  purchase  at  fifteen  guineas.  It  has  since  been  richly  bound  at  a  cost  of  two 
guineas,  and  is  now  looking  out  for  another  situation,  having  re-crossed  the 
Atlantic.

846  HAMILTON  (ALEXANDER,  Late  Secretary  of  the  Treasury}  OB 
SERVATIONS  on  Certain  Documents  contained  in  No.  V.  &  VI. 
of  «  The  History  of  the    United  States  for  the  year  1796,"  in 
which  the  charge  of  Speculation  against  Alexander  Hamilton, 
late  Secretary  of  the  Treasury,  is  fully  refuted.     WRITTEN   BY 
HIMSELF.      Clean  copy  on  a  foul  subject,  rough  leaves, 

sewed.  8°  John  Fenno,  'Philadelphia,  1797 

"  Written  by  himself,"  or  this  little  book  of  96  pages  would  most  likely  have 
been  pronounced  the  greatest  libel  upon  the  greatest  man  New  York  ever  pro 
duced.  It  has  been  claimed  to  the  honor  of  his  friends  that  they  endeav 
ored  to  suppress  it.  It  was  copyrighted,  and  never  reprinted  until  recently, 
but  scarce  as  it  has  become,  it  is  'now  part  of  the  literature  of  the  land.  The 
author  writes  on  p.  5  :  "  Merely  because  I  retained  an  opinion  once  common  to 
me  and  the  most  influencial  of  those  who  opposed  me,  That  the  public  debt  ought 
to  be  provided  for  on  the  basis  of  the  contract  upon  ichich  it  was  created,  I  have 
been  wickedly  accused  with  wantonly  increasing  the  public  burthen  many  mil 
lions,  in  order  to  promote  a  stock-jobbing  interest  of  myself  and  friends." 
Having  been  cleared  of  all  these  accusations  by  Committees  of  Congress  com 
posed  mainly  of  his  most  intelligent  and  active  enemies,  he  was  finally  charged 
with  "  a  connection  with  one  James  Reynolds  for  purposes  of  improper  pecuniary 
speculation."  To  extricate  himself  from  this  jimfiscal  corner  Mr.  Hamilton 
wrote  this  book.  Clear  himself  he  did,  most  assuredly,  of  the  charge,  but  in 
doing  so  it  has  been  thought  by  some  that  he  sawed  off  a  leg  to  cure  a  corn. 
"  My  real  crime,"  confesses  the  late  Secretary  not  without  a  blush,  "  is  an  am 
orous  connection  with  his  [Reynolds]  wife  for  a  considerable  time,  with  his 
privaty  and  connivance,"  and  that  was  how  he  came  to  be  the  private  banker 
of  Mr.  James  Reynolds,  the  husband  of  Mrs.  Reynolds,  "  from  whose  conversa 
tion  it  was  quickly  apparent  that  other  than  pecuniary  consolation  would  be 
acceptable,"  p.  18.  Truth  never  appeared  so  naked  as  in  these  confessions  of 
Alexander  Hamilton.

"  No  LIBRARY  is  COMPLETE  WITHOUT  IT." 

Some  six  or  eight  months  after  the  publication  of  this  Magnum  Opus  in  New  York  it 
was  taken  up  warmly  by  the  members  of  the  Geographical  Society  of  Paris,  and, 
after  the  manner  of  that  learned  Body,  referred  to  a  Committee  to  examine  and 
report  upon  it.  The  report  was  drawn  up  by  that  distinguished  geographer, 
savant,  and  man  of  sense,  M.  ERNEST  DESJARDINS,  and  read  at  the  sitting  of  the 
Central  Commission,  the  18  Jan.  1867,  and  published  in  the  Bulletin  of  the  follow 
ing  April.  Monsieur  HARRISSE  had  permission  accorded  to  him  to  have  500 
copies  struck  off  separately,  at  his  own  expense  (Bulletin,  p.  406).  From  this 
elaborate  Report,  the  following  translated  extracts  will  mingle  amusement 
with  instruction.  "  Permit  me,  Gentlemen,"  says  M.  Desjardins,  "  to  greet  with 
pleasure,  on  its  appearance,  THE  FIRST  WORK  OF  SOLID  ERUDITION  WHICH 
AMERICAN  SCIENCE  HAS  PRODUCED,  and  which  is  due  to  the  patient  research, 
to  the  ardent  love  of  high  historical  studies,  and  to  the  criticism  as  sagacious  as 
methodical,  of  a  young  savant,  M.  HARRISSE,  a  Frenchman  by  origin.  I  am 
happy  to  add  that  the  first  duty  of  your  reporter  is  to  render  to  the  author,  in 
the  name  of  the  Geographical  Society  of  Paris,  an  homage,  let  us  rather  say  a 
justice,  which  to  the  present  hour,  has  not  been  rendered  to  him  elsewhere  than 
in  France.  I  am  not  here  to  examine  for  what  reason  the  country  to  which  this 
useful  work  does  so  much  honor  has  remained  indifferent  to  the  publication  of 
this  new  and  unique  repertory  which  will  henceforth  serve  as  the  necessary  guide 
to  the  future  historians  of  the  discovery  and  conquest  of  the  New  World."  .... 
"  The  well  known  impartiality  of  our  Society  makes  it  my  duty  to  declare  at 
once  that  there  has  not  hitherto  been  published  a  more  useful  book  for  the  prep 
aration  of  the  American  history  of  the  sixteenth  century,  and  I  hasten  to  add 
that  this  judgment,  for  it  is  not  a  personal  opinion,  is  already  confirmed  by  the 
special  men  of  both  worlds,  who  pass  as  the  best  arbiters  in  these  matters,  M. 
ICAZBALCKTA  of  Mexico,  whose  most  complete  approbation  without  any  re 
striction,  I  have  now  before  me;  M.d'AvEZAC,  a  judge  so  competent  in  learned 
bibliography,  who  has  presented  M.  Harrisse's  works  to  the  Academy  of  Inscrip 
tions  and  Belles  Lettres  (Session  of  the  10th  Aug.  1866)  accompanying  this 


Bibliotheca  Historica.  73 

homage  with  explanations  so  luminous  and  praises  so  merited ;  M.  VIVIEN  DE 
SAINT-MARTIN,  who  reserves  to  them  a  worthy  place  in  his  Annee  yeographique ; 
M.  LE  Due  DE  MONTPENSIER,  who  interests  himself  so  much  in  the  history  of 
discoveries,  and  particularly  in  whatever  touches  Christopher  Columbus  ;  MM. 
GAYANGOS  and  ZARCO  DEL  VALLE,  of  Madrid,  not  to  cite  the  favorable  testi 
monies  of  savants  who  are  particularly  known  to  me.  M.  Harrisse  has,  as  we 
see,  something  in  the  applause  of  such  judges  to  support  unjust  or  flimsy  criti 
cism,  and  to  have  confidence  in  a  work  to  which  the  future  belongs."  .  .  .  . 
"  That  which  cannot  enough  be  praised  in  this  immense  work,  is  the  vigorous 

.  method  which  the  author  has  followed,  and  which  it  win  be  permitted  to  us  to 
call  by  its  true  name,  the  French  Method.  He  has  not  lost  sight,  even  in  his 
long  dissertations,  that  he  is  a  bibliographer,  as  such,  charged  with  offering  to  the 
erudite  public  all  the  documents,  and  accompanying  them  with  their  historical 

justification,  never  thinking  that  he  was  permitted  to  set  forth  his  own  opinion. 
He  applied  himself  to  correct  all  the  errors  running  through  the  history,  but  al 
ways  in  bringing  forward  proofs  by  facts,  and  never  conjecture  by  reasoning. 
Every  book  is  described  de  tv.sw,"  etc.  —  "  It  will  be  understood  that  M.  Harrisse's 
work,  in  spite  of  the  exceptional  interest  which  the  numerous  dissertations  it 
comprises  present,  is  not  one  of  those  which  can  be  read  consecutively  and  all  at 
a  breath.  I  shall  add  that  there  are  very  few  readers  sufficiently  competent  in 
each  of  the  branches  of  American  history  to  discover  the  errors  of  a  man  so 
learned  as  M.  Harrisse."  ....  "  I  must  still  add,  to  be  just,  that  M.  Har- 
risse  has  applied  to  the  accomplishment  of  his  task  as  much  abnegation  as  zeal 
and  intelligence.  He  has  given,  without  pretending  to  derive  from  it  any  ma 
terial  fruit,  all  his  time  to  the  editing  and  typographical  direction  of  an  admira 
ble  collection,  the  FIRST  SPECIMEN  OF  AMERICAN  ERUDITION,  and  the  repertory 
henceforth  indispensable  to  all  serious  study  of  the  conquest  of  America,"  —  and 
so  on  through  a  dozen  pages.  It  will  perhaps  be  an  act  of  simple  justice  to  one 
of  the  half  dozen  "  arbiters  "  named  above  to  add  that  he  told  the  writer,  that 
his  indorsement  and  recommendation  of  the  book  consisted  in  a  barely  civil 
acknowledgment  of  a  presentation  copy  with  a  few  commonplace  compliments. 
He  could  not,  he  thought,  under  the  circumstances,  have  written  less,  and 
was  consequently  much  surprised  at  the  use  made  of  his  letter. 

As  there  are  two  sides  to  the  Atlantic,  so  there  appear  to  be  two  opinions  as  to  the 
merits  of  this  book.  M.  Harrisse  throughout  his  work  had  played  swagger  to  a 
certain  Vermonter  who  had  for  some  time  resided  abroad,  and'to  whom  he  was 
much  indebted.  M.  Harrisse  undertook  to  befoul  him  with  many  untruthful 
flings,  insomuch  that  in  the  London  Athenceum  of  the  6th  of  Oct.  1866,  this  G. 
M.  B.  felt  it  a  duty  to  himself  as  well  as  to  the  public  to  apply  publicly  the  beech 
senl,  a  remedy  which  the  early  Green  Mountain  Boys  always  found  effectual  with 
trespassing  Yorkers.  After  bringing  him  to  with  a  blank  cartridge  and  cur 
sorily  examining  his  papers,  and  taking  poor  ANDER  SCHIFFAHRT  under  his 
protection,  this  obscure  writer  concludes  his  four  columns  with  the  following 
brief  summary.  "The  book  at  bottom  is  not  a  bad  one;  but  the  author  has 
made  it  a  mere  fact-bag  and  crammed  it  with  no  end  of  extraneous  matter. 
Like  the  jackdaw  he  does  not  appear  to  be  able  to  resist  anything  bright,  but 
picks  it  up  regardless  of  its  use  or  relevancy-  The  style  of  printing  the  titles  in 
apparent  facsimile  misleads,  and  is  a  mistake.  The  collations  are  often  obscure 
and  not  precise  enough.  There  is  a  distressing  want  of  uniformity  in  the  orthog 
raphy  of  names  of  places  and  persons.  The  mis-spelling  of  names  is  astound 
ing.  It  is  no  exaggeration  to  say  that  the  errata  of  names  alone  will  make  a 
list  of  500.  Two  persons  are  made  of  one  ;  one  is  made  of  two.  Some  are 
created  altogether,  witness  Ander  Schiffahrt.  Chronology  is  set  at  defiance. 
Geography  is  obscured.  History  is  in  a  muddle.  Grammar  and  the  Queen's 
English  tortured,  if  not  murdered.  Acknowledgments  are  generally  wanting 
where  most  required,  and  often  given  where  not  deserved.  The  index,  though 
extremely  full,  is  not  trustworthy,  names  being  left  out  of  it  purposely,  or  cer 
tainly  not  by  accident.  Evidences  of  bad  temper  are  abundant,  and  flippant 
flings,  which  can  always  be  parried,  are  plenty.  M.  Harrisse  quotes  largely  at 
second-hand,  and  omits  to  mention  the  books'most  used.  His  general  and  par 
ticular  scholarship  is  lamentably  deficient,  his  pedantry  and  plagiarism  manifest, 
his  want  of  courtesy  to  predecessors  and  fellow-laborers,  his  spite  and  obscure 
vision  as  to  the  wants  of  others,  are  apparent  thoughout.  These  are  some  of  the 
faults  which  should  be  looked  to  in  a  future  edition.  I  hear  with  feeling  akin 
to  national  pride  that  the  author  of  the  BIBLIOTHECA  AMERICANA  VETUSTIS- 
SIMA  is  not  an  American,  and  that  therefore  this  book  cannot  fairly  be  charged 
to  American  scholarship."  One  hundred  extra  copies  of  this  number  of  the

Athenceum  went  to  the  chief  geographers  and  bibliographers  of  Paris,  and  hence, 
after  due  button-holing  of  the  great  and  the  learned  the  beech-seal  was  removed 
and  a  son  of  France  stood  before  the  world  whitewashed  by  the  Geographical 
Society  of  Paris.  Who  will  whitewash  the  whitewasher?

about  the  romantic  manner  in  which  La  Perouse,  the  celebrated  French  naviga

the  celebrated  Naturalist  was  sent  to  New  Spain  by  Philip  the  Second  about  1595, 
where  he  remained  exploring"  for  several  years,  and  returned  to  Europe  with  au 
herbarium  the  very  richness  and  magnitude  of  which  overwhelmed  the  men  of 
science.  A  small  4o  volume,  containing  a  synopsis  of  the  work,  was  printed  in 
Mexico  in  1604.  After  the  death  of  Hernandes  the  collections  were  placed  in  the 
hands  of  Dr.  Nardo  Antonio  Reccio,  who  with  many  collaborateurs  completed, 
edited,  and  printed  the  great  work  at  Rome,  in  folio,  In  1628,  but  for  some  reason

A  Book  to  delight  the  eye  and  unbutton  the  pocket  of  the  collector  of  fine  Books. 
This  is  an  edition  not  mentioned  by  BRUNET,  whose  publisher,  M.  Fermin  Dedot, 
has  paid  special  attention  to  this  department  of  bibliography.  The  present  copy 
is  in  small  octavo,  measuring  7£  by  4£  inches,  92  leaves,  in  Gothic  type,  with

Almanac  for  20  years,  1501-20.  There  are  15  exquisite  full-paged  woodcuts,  and 
every  page  throughout  the  volume  is  surrounded  by  beautiful  borders,  composed 
of  w'oodcuts  large  and  small,  representing  scriptural  subjects,  arabesques,  hunt 
ing  parties,  love  scenes,  the  story  of  Susanna  and  the  Elders,  scenes  from  the

This  first  edition  of  the  Commentaries  of  Eustathius,  in  Greek,  on  the  Iliad  of 
Homer,  in  fine  condition,  like  the  present  copy,  has  become  very  rare.  It  is 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  books  ever  printed.  The  companion  volumes  con

"Whoever  before  heard  of  an  American  translation  of  the  Iliad?  Vera  Cruz 
forever!  for  one  of  her  sons  nearly  a  century  ago  gave  to  the  world  this  transla 
tion  of  the  whole  24  Books  of  the  Iliad  into  Latin  hexameters,  and  added 
thereto  his  Alexandrias,  nearly  100  pages  more,  which  had  lain  full  tweuty 
years  in  his  pigeon-holes  in  Mexico.  The  volumes  are  very  handsomely  printed, 
and  tastefully  decorated  with  copperplate  head  and  tail  pieces,  engraved,  proba 
bly,  expressly  for  this  work.  The  fourth  Book  of  the  Alexandvias  ends  with  the 
following  allusion  to  Mexico:

Samuel  Hutchinson,  the  author  of  this  extraordinary  and  rare  compilation,  was  a 
brother  of  William,  the  father  of  Anne  Hutchinson,  the  strong-minded  of  New 
England  200  years  ago.  He  was  a  Fifth-monarchy  man,  and  hits  here  not  only 
set  forth  his  own  views  both  in  prose  and  verse,  but  has  collected  the  opinions  of 
competent  writers  of  the  old  world  and  the  new  upon  the  establishment  of  the 
Fifth  Kingdom,  that  of  Christ,  the  new  Heaven  and  the  new  Earth.  His  princi 
pal  paper  is  "  A  Letter  sent  to  a  Friend  in  Old  England  concerning  the  Personal 
Monarchical  Reign  of  Christ  with  the  Saints  here  upon  Earth,  being  an  Answer 
to  a  Letter  sent  from  Old  England  to  New  in  1659."  He  does  not  go  so  far  as 
a  subsequent  American  writer  of  this  latitude,  and  intimate  that  New  England 
is  to  be  the  New-Jerusalem.

Master  GOTARD  ARTHUS  of  Dantzig  was  one  of  DeBry's  editors,  and  was  therefore 
well  read  in  the  early  voyages  of  the  Portuguese,  the  Spanish,  the  Dutch  and 
others,  to  the  East  Indies  by  the  routes  of  both  capes.  He  resided  at  Frankfort, 
and  finished  this  work  in  September,  1605,  after  the  first  seven  Parts  of  DeBry's 
India  had  been  published.  In  a  condensed  form  this  work  is  perhaps  one  of  the 
best  summaries  there  is  of  all  the  various  East  India  voyages  up  to  1605,  and 
therefore  to  the  geographer  and  bibliographer  it  is  of  very  considerable  value. 
Chapter  35  treats  of  the  Molucca  Islands  and  the  divers  routes  thither,  especiall}' 
that  by  the  Straits  of  Magellan.  The  book,  in  enabling  the  American  historian 
to  trace  the  gradual  and  mysterious  separation  of  the  new  hemisphere  from  the 
old,  entitles  it  to  a  prominent  place  among  books  on  America.

1026  JOURNAL  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  Congress  held  at  Phila

Grievances,  &c.     To  which  is  added  (being  now  first  printed 
by  authority)  an  Authentic  Copy  of  the  PETITION  TO  THE 
KING.     Half  morocco.  8°  London,  1775 

DR.  FRANKLIN,  it  is  believed,  caused  this  volume  to  be  issued  in  London,  in 
January-,  1775.  Its  effect  was  startling,  for  it  proclaimed  to  the  discriminating 
British"  Public  (if  there  was  at  that  time  such  a  body)  that  the  English  lan 
guage  had  acquired  new  vigor  and  clearness  in  being  transplanted  to  the 
Western  shores.  The  pith,  point,  and  force  of  these  Public  Papers,  astonished 
the  politicians  and  statesmen  of  Westminster,  and  delighted  the  friends  of  the 
Colonies.  The  Original  Petition  of  the  Continental  Congress  to  the  King 
dated  Oct.  26,  1774,  from  which  the  above  was  printed,  containing  the  signatures 
of  fifty  of  the  Delegates,  after  the  manner  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
and  second  only  in  historical  importance  to  that  Document,  is  now  in  the  pos 


session  of  the  writer,  it  having  been  signed  in  duplicate,  one  copy  being  care 
fully  preserved  by  Dr.  Franklin,  the  other  sent  to  the  King.  The  latter  copy  is 
still  preserved  in  the  State  Paper  office  in  London.  No  copy  was  retained  by 
the  Congress.

To  form  a  complete  collection  of  the  Relations  or  annual  reports  of  the  Jesuit 
missionaries  in  Canada,  on  the  Borders,  and  in  the  Great  North  West  from 
about  1630  to  1680  has  been  the  laudable  ambition  of  many  American  collectors, 
but  few  if  any  have  succeeded.  Including  the  various  editions  there  are  nearly 
50  volumes.  A  perfect  set  is  the  pons  asinorum  of  the  American  collector.  The 
historical  and  geographical  importance  of  these  volumes  cannot  well  be  over 
stated.

ecticut  ;  or  depending  on  some  Persons  in  Engfand.  ...  As  the  Jersies

running  tobacco  and  other  produce  to  Scotland,  Holland,  and  elsewhere,  con 
trary  to  the  recent  laws  against  piracy,  that  is  illegal  trade.  He  prays  Parlia 
ment  therefore  to  "remove  all  the  Calamities  that  attend  these* Colonies, 
through  their  want  of  Unity  by  reassuming  that  part  of  the  Grants  pretended

With  the  Charter  of  the  Society,  and  an  account  of  its  proceedings  1776-7. 
Above  100  missionaries  were  scattered  throughout  the  American  Colonies  at 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Rebellion  [American  Revolution].  The  report  of  their 
proceedings  in  1776  reads  strangely  now.  "  In  July  last,  the  Congress  thought 
proper  to  make  an  explicit  declaration  of  independence  by  which  all  connec 
tion  with  Great  Britain  was  to  be  broken  oft',  and  the  Americans  released  from 
any  alliance  to  our  gracious  Sovereign."  This  declaration  increased  the  em 
barrassment  of  the  clergy.  To  officiate  publicly,  and  not  pray  for  the  king 
and  royal  family,  according  to  the  Liturgy,  was  against  their  duty  and  oath,  as 
well  as  dictates  of  their  conscience;  thev  therefore  almost  all  of  them  shut 
up  their  churches.  4i  The  venerable  Mr.  fieach  of  Newtown  in  Connecticut  is 
alone  to  be  excepted"  —  and  upon  being  warned  of  his  danger,  said  with  the 
firmness  and  spirit  of  a  primitive  confessor  '-that  he  would  do  his  duty,  preach, 
and  pray  for  the  King  'till  the  rebels  cut  out  his  tongue."

capienda,  quae  aliubi  in  Commentary's  suis  libare  rnagis,  quam 
longius  explicare  noluit.  Fine  copy,  calf. 

Folio,  Basilice,  apud  Andream  Cratandrum,  Januario,  1522 
The  story  of  this  Book  is  too  long  to  be  told  here,  but  it  has  played,  and  is  still 
destined  to  play,  a  prominent  part  in  the  early  geographical  history  of  this 
continent.  The  editors  real  name  was  Joachim  Watt,  born  at  St  Gall,  in 
Switzerland,  November  29,  1484,  but  educated  chiefly  at  Vienna.  Although  a 
classical  scholar,  theologian,  and  poet,  he  seems  to  have  been  an  arduous 
student  of  geography.  In  fact  the  best  books  we  have  on  the  geographical 
effects  of  the  discoveries  of  Columbus,  Vespucci,  the  Cabots,  Dias,  Da  Garna, 
Cabral,  etc.,  came  from  two  distinct  fraternities  of  students;  the  one  at  St  Die", 
of  whom  Philesius  was  the  soul,  and  the  other  at  Vienna,  of  whom  Vadianus 
was  the  moving  spirit.  It  will  not  be  difficult,  probably,  to  show  a  connection 
between  these  two  gymnasiums.  Indeed,  this  volume  helps  us  to  many  im 
portant  facts.  From  St  Die"  came  the  suggestionrto  name  the  Mundus  Novus  of 
Vespucci  AMERICA,  and  in  1512  Vadianus,  in  his  letter  to  Agricola,  Jr.,  adopts 
the  suggestion.  This  letter  was  printed  by  Agricola  in  July,  1514,  in  small  4to, 
and  dedicated  to  their  mutual  friend  Caspar  Velius,  of  Ursina,  in  Silicia.  The 
same  year  Lucas  Atlantse,  an  enterprising  publisher  of  Vienna,  announced 
as  having  on  his  anvils  the  works  of  SOLINUS,  to  be  edited  by  Camera,  and 
POMPONIUS  MELA,  by  Vadianus.  Vadianus  finished  his  large  work  and  it  was 
published  in  1518.  in  his  prolegomena  he  speaks  of  the  necessity,  to  a  proper 
understanding  of  the  subject,  of  having  the  prominent  places  pictured  on  a  map. 
Young  Apianus,  another  student  at  Vienna,  was  then  at  work  upon  his  great 
map  of  the  world,  but  this  was  not  finished  till  1520,  when  it  appeared  with  the 
SOLINUS  of  Camers.  This  map,  the  first  one  known  with  the  name  AMERICA, 
was  no  doubt  intended  for  both  the  Pomponius  Mela  and  the  Solinus.  These 
two  books  are  uniform  in  size,  and  after  1520  were  issued  together,  and  the 
map  when  found  at  all,  is  usually  bound  in  the  middle,  between  the  two. 
Vadianus  returned  to  St  Gall,  his  native  place,  and  practiced  as  a  physician, 
but  kept  up  till  long  after  his  interest  in  geographical  studies.  Having 
quarrelled  with  Camers,  he  reedited  his  Pomponius  Mela,  and  caused  it  to  be 
reissued  at  Basil  in  1522  (this  edition),  inscribing  it,  in  an  explanatory  letter, 
dated  at  St  Gall  in  April,  1521,  to  his  friend,  Dr.  John  Faber.  This  was  the 
Faber,  a  native  of  Etaples,  near  Boulogne,  a  mathematician,  an  astronomer,  and 
a  geographer,  who  had,  with  others  in  1499  published  at  Venice  that  superb 
edition  of  Sacrobosco,  posting  up  cosmography  and  nautical  astronomy  to  that 
date,  and  who,  as  Professor  at  Paris,  in  1504,  stimulated  his  young  pupil, 
Mathias  Ringman.  to  the  study  of  cosmography.  Ringman,  born  at  Schles- 
tadt,  not  far  from  Strasburg,  haying  read  at  Paris  the  letter  of  Vespucci,  trans 
lated  by  Giocondi,  also  residing  in  Paris,  found  his  youthful  mind  fired  by  it  to 
such  an  extent  that  on  returning  home  he  translated  into  German  and  printed 
at  Strasburg,  in  August,  1505,  Vespucci's  letter.  He  soon  after  travelled  into 
Italy,  from  whence  he  brought  back  a  Greek  MS.  of  Ptolemy,  given  him  by 
Pico  de  Mirandola.  This  manuscript  he  took  with  him  to  St  Die",  in  Lorraine, 


108  Bibliotheca  Historica. 

where  he  was  made  Professor  in  the  Gymnasium,  and  became,  as  Philesius,  the 
moving  spirit  of  that  small  circle  of  Professors  and  Canons,  under  the  patronage

the  Ptolemy  of  1513  to  the  Press.  Vadianus  at  Vienna,  in  1512.  adopted  the 
name  AMKKICA.  The  letter  to  Agricola,  and  another  tract  by  Vadianus,  en 
titled  Loca  ftliguot,etc.,  are  reprinted  in  both  the  editions  of  Mela,  but  the  letter 
of  Agricola  to  Vadianus  is  omitted.  It  is  doubtful  if  Alantse's  Map  of  1520,  by 
Apianus.  belongs  properly  to  this  edition  of  1522,  printed  at  Basle,  though  it  is 
found  with  it  in  Cranmer's  copy  bound  with  Solinus,  now  in  the  British 
Museum.  Not  the  least  attractive  feature  of  this  beautiful  volume  is  the  title- 
page,  surrounded  by  one  of  HANS  HOLBEIN'S  wood-cut  borders,  with  his  well- 
known  signature,  dated  1519.

English  and  French  Commissioners  respecting  their  respective  possessions  in 
America,  after  the  Peace  of  Aix-la-Chapelle.  All  geographical  disputes  from

are  laid  under  contribution.  For  the  history  of  Maine  or  New  England  gen-

invaluable.

8°  [Mexico]  en  la  Imprenta  del  Colegio  de  S.  lldefonso,  1765 

This  very  earnest  book  (of  284  pages,  with  8  preliminary  and  2  sequent  leaves) 
is  substantially  a  defense  of  the  Jesuits,  and  their  conduct  and  usefulness  in 
all  parts  of  the  world.  The  author  gives  a  list  of  above  170  authors  whom  he 
quotes,  many  of  them  bearing  testimony  to  the  valuable  services  of  the  Order 
as  missionaries  among  the  heathen  of  both  hemispheres.  He  also  enumer 
ates  the  Popes,  and  other  high  officials  in  the  Church,  who  have  testified  in 
their  favor,  and  declares  that  the  movement  for  the  suppression  of  the  Order 
was  instigated  by  the  enemies  of  true  Religion,  and  is  headed  by  the  Devil 
in  person.  This  defense  is  strongly  fortified  by  many  historical  allusions  to 
services  in  the  new*world  from  the  time  of  the  entrance  of  the  Dominicans 
into  Mexico  in  the  time  of  Cortes.

These  three  large  and  handsome  volumes  contain  the  entire  history,  bibliography, 
and  theology,  of  the  miraculous  GUADALOUPANA  of  Mexico,  from  the  first 
appearance  of  the  Vision  to  Juan  Diego,  the  Indian  in  1531.  This  subject  has 
become  one  of  the  Stock  Institutions  of  Mexico,  and  its  history  and  influence 
seem  to  pervade  all  others.  No.  1295  and  1296  though  distinct  works,  usually  go 
together,  and  these  two  volumes  are  bound  uniformly  and  lettered,  Tom.  I.  and  II. 
They  are  verv  fine  copies,  on  thick  paper,  and  bound  in  calf.  There  are  five 
copperplate  illustrations  of  the  several  appearances  of  the  Image.  No.  1297  con 
tains  the  NOVENAS  separately,  extracted  with  certain  alterations  from  No.  1295. 
Most  of  the  volume  is  the  same,  but  a  few  leaves  have  been  changed,  so  as  to 
make  it  a  complete  work  by  itself.  The  three  volumes  ought  to  go  together.

it  will  soon  no  doubt  be  better  appreciated.  Manv  of  the  Views  that  could  be

This  book  seems  destined  to  live  the  full  age  allotted  to  a  lie.  Nothing  has  more 
lives,  or  is  harder  to  kill  than  a  good  political  lie  well  told,  which  has  once  taken 
in  statesmen,  philosophers,  and  historians,  whose  reputation  and  interest  encour 
age  it  to  survive.  This  little  book  has  in  its  day  played  its  part  on  many  stages, 
and  its  day  seems  not  yet  over.  It  has  many  times^been  pronounced  spurious, 
yet  there  are  some  who  still  assert  its  genuineness  and  defend  its  authenticity. 
So  it  has  been  from  its  publication  in  March,  1777,  and  so  it  probably  will  be. 
It  comprises  three  long  letters  purporting  to  be  from  the  Marquis  de  MONTCALM, 
Governor-general  and  Commander-in-chief  of  Canada;  the  first  to  M.  de  Ber 
ryer,  First  Commissioner  of  the  Marine  of  France,  dated  from  Montreal,  April 
4,  1757;  the  second  to  the  same  person,  dated  also  from  Montreal,  October  1, 
1758 ;  and  the  third  to  his  cousin,  M.  de  Mole",  First  President  in  the  Parliament 
of  France,  dated  at  the  Camp  before  Quebec,  August  24, 1759,  a  few  days  only 
before  the  fall  of  that  stronghold  into  the  hands  of  the  English  on  the  13th  of 
September,  a  day  forever  memorable  for  its  consequences  to  both  England  and 
France,  and  the  deaths  of  both  of  the  great  Commanders,  MONTCALM  and 
WOLFE.  The  first  letter  occupies  thirteen  pages,  nine  of  which  are  taken  up 
with  the  copy  of  a  letter  to  Montcalm,  from  S.  J.  of  Boston,  dated  January  4, 
'1757,  containing  the  cream  and  pith  of  the  whole  three  letters,  which  together 
fill  28  pages  in  English,  and  the  same  number  in  French.  This  Boston  Spy, 
whoever  he  was,  appears  to  have  been  thoroughly  well  acquainted  with  the  his 
tory,  the  powers,  the  aims,  the  interests,  and  the  proclivities  of  the  several  Eng 
lish  Colonies,  both  as  to  their  relations  to  each  other,  and  individually  and 
collectively  to  Mother  England.  He  proposes  to  Montcalm  a  scheme  for  under 
mining  the  power  of  Great  Britain,  by  encouraging  free  trade  between  France 
and  the  English  Colonies  indirectly  through  Canada.  He  states  the  case  phil 
osophically,  based  upon  .well-known  facts,  and  predicts  almost  precisely  the 
course  of  events  for  the  next  fifteen  years.  Indeed,  S.  J.  writes  precise!}*"  such 
a  letter  in  1757,  as  a  man  of  great  intelligence  could  only  write  in  1770,  or  1775, 
after  the  passage  of  the  Stamp  Act  in  1765,  its  repeal  in  1766,  and  the  various 
other  more  or  less  vindictive  enactments  of  the  Parliament  anent  the  Colonies, 
till  the  pouring  out  of  that  great  vial  of  wrath,  the  BOSTON  PORT  BILL. 
S.  J.  writes,  page  3,  "  The  commerce  of  all  the  other  Colonies  might  be  drawn  to 
and  fixed  in  Canada;  for  if  you  there  introduce  all  kinds  of  manufactures,  espe 
cially  your  Indian  goods,  from  France,  of  which  the  middling  class  of  our  plant 
ers  are  so  ridiculously  fond ;  if  you  made  considerable  imports  from  France  of 
your  brandies,  wines,  and  other  liquors,  you  would  find  drunkards  enough  in  the 
colonies  to  take  them  off  your  hands :  thus  you  would  soon  ruin  the  manufac 
tures  of  England,  which  would  soon  find  no  market  here,  and  our  money  would 
circulate  among  your  merchants.  A  double  advantage  would  arise  to  you  from 
this,  since,  while'you  were  enriching  yourselves,  you  would  be  impoverishing 
your  natural  enemies.  It  is  true  that  England,  too  clearly  perceiving  her  ap 
proaching  ruin,  would  not  fail  to  make  heavy  and  loud  complaints.  The  Par 
liament  would  immediately  pass  bills  to  suppress  this  commerce,  so  ruinous  to 
their  nation;  ....  a  secret  and  fraudulent  trade  may  enrich  an  individual,  but 


Bibtiotheca  Historica.  115 

the  commerce  of  an  extensive  country  must  be  open,  free  and  unfettered.  Let 
your  Excellency,  from  hence,  learn  to  know  us."  Again  on  page  5:  "Among 
us,  no  act  of  Parliament,  or  order  from  the  throne,  has  the  force  of  a  law,  or  can 
be  put  in  execution,  till  after  it  has  been  agreed  to  and  accepted  in  our  general 
assemblies.  Though  these  assemblies  have  not  yet  the  power  of  making  our 
own  laws,  yet  they  have  at  least  the  privilege  of  refusing  those  which  are  inju 
rious  and  ruinous  to  the  country ;  and  perhaps  the  day  is  not  far  distant,  when 
they  will  reject  bills  passed  in  England,  though  invested  with  the  highest  au 
thority.  Can  you  think  that  the  members  of  these  general  assemblies  will  be 
such  enemies  to  themselves  and  their  country,  as  meanly  to  submit  to  the  orders 
of  England,  should  they  take  it  in  their  heads  to  compel  us  to  give  them  a 
guinea,  for  what  we  can  purchase  in  Canada,  in  our  own  ports,  ftfr  a  penny?  " 

Speaking  of  the  union  of  the  Colonies,  he  says,  "  The  planters  of  the  different 
colonies  have  assembled  under  one  standard,  and  thus  an  acquaintance,  connec 
tion,  and  intercourse  are  established,  and  the  union  cemented.  An  important 
step  for  us,  since  we  now  shall,  as  it  were,  go  hand  in  hand  for  the  future.  Our 
rights  will  be  respected,  because  it  would  be  dangerous  to  attack  them."  And 
on  page  8,  '"  From  every  circumstance  I  have  the  honor  to  remark  to  you,  it  is 
easy  to  foresee  that  England  would  not  succeed  in  prohibiting  our  commerce 
with  your  colony ;  and  I  speak  this  the  more  confidently,  as  the  price  of  the 
commodities  which  are  brought  us  from  England,  begins  "to  be  offensive  in  the 
eyes  of  the  multitude,  who,  even  in  the  midst  of  war,  cry  out  loudly  for  procuring 
them  from  some  other  quarter.  If  I  am  not  much  mistaken,  all  our  colonies,  in 
less  than  ten  years,  will  catch  fire  on  this  occasion.  Indeed,  there  are  hardly  any 
means  of  preventing  it,  since  labour  is  at  such  an  exorbitant  rate  in  England:  a 
necessary  event  in  a  country  which  has  enriched  itself  considerably  by  com 
merce;  and  hence  follows  the  consequent  rise  of  manufactures  ....  although 
Canada  should  escape  from  the  hands  of  its  masters,  the  day  will  come,  wheu 
the  high  price  of  English  commodities  Avill  be  such  a  weight  on  our  colonies,  as 
to  oblige  them  to  have  recourse  to  a  stranger;  England  must  then  be  ruined. 
This  prophetic  event  is  the  more  sure,  and  the  sooner  to  be  expected,  as  the 
opulence  of  our  colonies  is  not  everywhere  on  an  equal  footing It  is  un 
reasonable  to  rob  them,  by  forcing  them  to  buy,  at  a  high  price,  what  they  can 
have  almost  for  nothing.  Common  interest  will  unite  them,  and  what  Will  be 
the  event  of  it  ?  .  .  .  .  What  I  dare  previously  assure  you,  from  a  knowledge  of 

our  situation  and  sentiments,  is,  that  England  will  fall  the  first  victim 

This  who  lives  will  see !  " 

In  transmitting  this  letter,  Montcalm  did  but  little  more  than  endorse  its  sentiments , 
but  in  his  second  letter  a  year  later  he  says,  "  All  these  informations,  which  I 
every  day  receive,  confirm  me  in  my  opinion  that  England  will  one  day  lose 
her  Colonies  on  the  Continent  of  America;  and  if  Canada  should  then  be  In  the 
hands  of  an  able  governor,  who  understands  his  business,  he  will  have  a  thou 
sand  opportunities  of  hastening  the  event;  this  is  the  only  advantage  we  can 
reap,  for  all  it  has  cost  us.  As  to  the  English  Colonies,  there  is  one  essential 
point  to  be  considered :  they  have  never  yet  been  taxed,  but  have  always  pre 
served  that  right  to  themselves.  Were  they  [England]  now  to  attempt  it,  I 
have  certain  assurances  that  the  English  Colonies  would  take  fire,  and  the  flame 
would  spread  every  where ;  which,  if  properly  fed,  would  embarrass  England  to 
extinguish  it." 

But  the  most  pertinent  predictions  are  in  the  third  letter  to  Mr.  Mold,  filling  nine 
pages.  "  For  more  than  three  months  has  Mr.  Wolfe  been  hanging  on  my 
hands."  "  The  enemy  ruins  us,  but  not  enriches  himself."  "  Nothing,  how 
ever,  is  less  certain:  "the  taking  of  Quebec  depends  on  one  masterly  stroke." 
"  They  are  in  a  condition  to  give  us  battle,  which  I  must  not  refuse,  and  which 
I  cannot  hope  to  gain.  General  Wolfe,  indeed,  if  he  understands  his  business, 
has  only  to  receive  our  first  fire,  and  then  advancing  briskly  on  my  army,  &c." 
"  The  e'vent  must  decide.  But  of  one  thing  be  certain,  tha't  I  probably  shall  not 
survive  the  loss  of  the  Colony."  "  I  shall  at  least  console  myself  on  my  defeat, 
and  on  the  loss  of  the  Colony,  by  the  full  persuasion  that  this  defeat  will  one 
day  serve  my  country  more  than  a  victory,  and  that  the  conqueror,  in  aggran 
dizing  himself,  will  find  his  tomb  the  country  he  gains  from  us."  "  All  the 
English  Colonies  would  long  since  have  shaken  off  the  yoke,  each  province 
would  have  formed  itself  into  a  little  independent  republic,  if  the  fear  of  seeing  the 
French  at  their  door  had  not  been  a  check  upon  them.  Master  for  master,  they 
have  preferred  their  own  countrymen  to  strangers,  observing,  however,  this 
maxim,  to  obey  as  little  as  possible ;  but  when  Canada  shall  be  conquered,  and

the  Canadians  and  these  Colonies  become  one  people,  on  the  first  occasion, 
when  England  shall  seem  to  strike  at  their  interest,  do  you  believe,  my  dear 
cousin,  that  these  Colonies  will  obey'?  and  what  would  they  have  to  fear  from  a 
revolt?  "  .  .  .  u  but  I  doubt  whether  they  [the  English]  Avould  ever  make 
good  a  landing.  Add  too,  that  in  case  of  a  general  revolt,  of  any  part  of  these 
Colonies,  all  the  powers  of  Europe,  secret  and  jealous  enemies  of  the  power  of 
England,  would  at  first  assist  them  privately,  and  then  openly,  to  throw  off  the 
yoke."  "  If  the  English  make  a  conquest  they  are  sure  to  change  the  constitution 
of  the  country,  and  introduce  their  own  laws,"  etc.  "  Upon  this  account, 
Canada,  once  taken  by  the  English,  would,  in  a  few  years  suffer  much  more 
from  being  forced  to  be  English."  "  Farewell  then  to  ...  obedience  and 
fidelity ;  they  would  soon  be  of  no  use  to  England,  arid  perhaps  they  would  op 
pose  her.  1  am  so  clear  in  what  I  now  assert,  that  I  would  not  give  more  than 
ten  years  after  the  conquest  of  Canada  to  see  it  accomplished.  See  then  what 
now  consoles  me,  as  a  Frenchman,  for  the  imminent  danger  my  country  runs  of 
losing  this  coloiry." 

Such  is  a  brief  synopsis  of  this  remarkable  book.  Its  very  prophecies  in  1757-59 
became  the  "  very  historical  truth  "  of  1777,  and  forcibly  struck  home  to  the 
Ministry  and  the'Parliament.  It  was  published  in  March,  '77,  just  in  the  nick 
of  time'to  "  go  to  the  country  "  with  those  two  vindictive  Acts  which  drew  from 
Burke  his  famous  letter,  of  the  3d  of  April,  to  the  Sheriffs  of  Bristol.  It  was 
announced  in  the  London  Magazine  for  April,  1777,  p.  216.  without  comment; 
but  the  Mvnttdy  Review  of  the  same  month,  p.  306,  noticed  it  rather  favorably 
and  cautiously,  beginning,  "  From  these  Letters,  which  appear  to  us  to  be  gen 
uine,  although  the  Editor  is  silent,"  etc.  The  Gentleman's  Magazine  for  July,  p. 
342,  is  more  explicit, "  That  the  sagacity  of  this  accomplished  General  [Montcalm] 
was  equal  to  his  bravery,  appears  from  the  following  remarkable  prediction, 
now  fatally  verified,  '  All  the  English  Colonies  would  long  since  have  shaken 
off  the  yoke, '"  etc.  .  .  .  "  The  whole,"  says  Mr.  Urban,  "  is  well  worth  pe 
rusal,  and  show's  that  M.  de  Montcalm  was  tarn  Mtrcutio  quam  Marie. — It  is 
proper  to  add,  that  the  authenticity  of  the  work  was  latelv  attacked  in  the  House 
of  Lords  by  Lord  Shelburne,  but  ably  defended  by  Lord  Mansfield."  On  turning 
to  the  Parliamentary  Register,  to  the  celebrated  debate  imthe  House  of  Lords, 
on  the  30th  of  May,  opened  by  the  Earl  of  Chatham,  and  closed  by  Lord  Abing- 
don,  two  of  America's  friends,  in  which  debate  Earl  Gower,  the  Duke  of  Graf- 
ton,  the  Archbishop  of  York,  the  Bishop  of  Peterborough,  Lord  Lyttleton,  the 


opi 

spectiiig  the  American  views  of  independency;  but  relied  more  upon  what  was 
argued  in  Montcalm's  Letters,  which  he  insisted  were  not  spurious."  The  next 
we  hear  of  these  Letters  a  little  further  afield,  is  a  settler  from  the  Earl  of  Abing- 
don,  printed  at  Oxford  in  June,  in  his  Thoughts  on  the  Letter  of  Ednnmd  Burke, 
p.  56,  "  To  get  rid  of  these  stumbling  blocks  of  aggrcssorship  [who  threw  the 
first  stone]  something  was  to  be  devised;  and  this  something  was,  that  America 
meant  to  become  independent  of  this  country.  But  how  was  this  to  be  sup 
ported  V  The  learned  Lord  [Mansfield]  proved  it  by  innuendoes,  by  sayings  and 
doings,  a  priori,  out  of  the  American  Assemblies,  from  Montcalm's  Letters, 
which  have  been  found  to  be  forgeries,"  etc. 

Still  later,  on  the  fifth  of  March,  1778,  just  eight  years  to  a  day  after  the  Boston 
Massacre,  in  another  great  debate,  in  the  House  of  Lords,  on  the  Reconciliation 
Bills,  Earl  Temple  (no  great  authority  it  is  true),  who  had  boxed  the  compass 
of  opinion,  said  "  he  believed  America  had  aimed  at  independency  from  the 

beginning,  etc He  had  another  strong  reason  to  confirm  him  in  the 

same  way  of  thinking,  that  was,  the  pointed  observations  contained  in  the  letters 
attributed  to  Monsieur  Montcalm,  which  indeed  bear  the  stamp  of  prediction, 
more  than  hypothetical  reasoning.  He  observed,  that  the  authenticity  of  those  let 
ters  had  been  often  disputed ;  but  he  could  affirm,  that  he  saw  them  in  manuscript 
among  the  papers  of  a  minister  now  deceased,  long  before  they  made  their 
appearance  in  print,  and  at  a  time  when  American  independency  was  in  the 

contemplation  of  a  very  few  persons  indeed With  regard  to  the 

right  of  Great  Britain  to  exact  a  revenue  from  America,  I  never  entertained  a 
doubt  of  it,  nor  that  the  colonies  secretly  looked  forward  to  independency.     The 
letters  I  have  already  alluded  to  prove  it." 
No  judgment  could  be  based  on  the  character  of  the  publisher,  for  Almon,  the  pub-

lisher  of  the  Remembrancer,  was  orfe  who  printed  for  all  parties,  and  for  and  against 
America.  For  some  time  the  general  impression  remained  that  the  Montcalm, 
like  the  Washington  letters  published  the  same  year,  were  spurious.  In  1835  Mr. 
Rich  recorded  the  book  with  the  remark  —  "  If  these  letters  are  genuine,  they 
show  that  M.  de  Montcalm  had  a  very  correct  presentiment  of  what  would  be 
the  consequence  of  attempting  to  tax  the  Colonies."  In  1844,  while  engaged  in 
looking  up  materials  for  a  history  of  the  old  French  War,  the  writer  well  recol 
lects  discussing  the  character  of  the  letters  with  Mr.  Sparks,  who  unhesita 
tingly  pronounced  them  spurious.  Mr.  Bancroft  was  of  the  same  opinion.  The 
use  of  the  word  planters  by  S.  J.  is  strong  evidence  that  he  was  not  a  Bostonian. 
In  1858  appeared  a  volume  entitled  The  Plains  of  Abraham;  Notts  original  and 
selected.  By  Ll.  Col  Beatson,  C.  K.  8»  Gibraltar,  Garrison  Press,  1858,' made  up 
partly  of  extracts  from  these  Montcalm  letters.  Col.  Beatson  appears  to  have  had 
no  suspicion  that  their  genuineness  had  ever  been  doubted.  This  Gibraltar  book 
falling  into  the  hands  of  Thomas  Carlyle.  while  achieving  the  Li'e  of  Frederick 
of  Prussia,  seduced  the  great  Philosopher  of  Chelsea  into  a  charming  episode 
of  eight  or  ten  pages  (Vol.  V,  Lond.  Ed.  pp.  555-563,  published  in  March  1865) 
in  which  Montcalm  shines  as  a  great  prophet.  Writes  Thomas,  "Colonel 
Beatson  in  his  recent  Pamphlet,  The  Plains  of  Abraham,  —  which,  especially  on 
the  military  side,  is  distressingly  ignorant  and  shallow,  though  not  intentionally 
incorrect  anywhere,  —  gives  extracts  from  a  Letter  of  Montcalm's  ('Quebec, 
24th  August,  1759  ')  which  is  highly  worth  reading,  had  we  room.  It  predicts 
to  a  hair's  breadth  not  only  the  way  '  Mr.  Wolfe,  if  he  understands  his  trade,  will 
take  to  beat  and  ruin  rne  if  we  meet  in  tight;'  but  also, —  with  a  sagacity 
singular  to  look  at  in  the  years  1775-77,  and  perhaps  still  more  in  the  years 
1860-63,  — what  will  be  the  consequences  to  those  unruly  English,  Colonial  and 
other.  '  If  he  beat  me  here,  France  has  lost  America  utterly  '  thinks  Mont 
calm: 'Yes; —  and  one's  only  consolation  is,  In  ten  years  farther  America  will 
be  in  revolt  against  England.'  "  Mr.  Carlyle  did  not  succeed  in  finding  this 
original  edition  by  Almon,  "which  is  not,"  wrote  he,  "in  the  British  Museum 
Library,  on  applying:  and  seems  to  be  a  forgotten  book."  Mr.  Carlyle  will 
doubtless,  on  further  inquiry,  in  a  future  edirion,  decide  to  cut  out  this  'episode, 
interesting  as  it  is,  as  he  did  another  on  another  occasion,  in  another  book,  as  a 
sacrifice  to  Truth,  or  tapping  the  bottom  of  his  tub  with  an  explanatory  note, 
after  the  manner  of  latter-day  histor}',  let  the  spirit  of  it  drizzle  away  unseen. 
In  Sept.  18(55,  the  writer's  attention  was  called  to  this  episode  by  Professor  New 
ton  of  Cambridge,  while  at  Fryston  Hall  in  Yorkshire,  when  he  at  once  recounted 
the  history  of  the  Montcalm  forgery,  and  the  whole  subject  was  discussed  by 
Lord  Houghton  (whose  acquaintance  with  the  history  of  literary  forgeries  is  very 
extensive)  Mr.  William  E.  Forster,  M.  P.,  Prof.  Newton  and  others.  The  writer 
then  undertook  to  write  out  the  story  for  the  generous  public,  but  on  returning  to 
London  no  copy  of  the  " forgotten  book"  could  be  found  in  London  or  Oxford 
for  many  months. 

Now  the  writer  is  aware  that  all  this  narrative,  being  mostly  negative  testimony, 
does  not  demonstrate  that  the  letters  are  forgeries,  but  it  seems  to  him  to  place 
the  whole  matter  in  such  a  position  that  hardly  anything  short  of  the  actual 
production  of  the  original  autograph  letters  of  the  old  Marquis  de  Montcalm  will 
establish  their  authenticity.  Earl  Temple  might  have  seon  the  letters,  as  he  said, 
"  in  manuscript  among  the  papers  of  a  minister  now  [1778]  deceased,  long  before 
the}'  made  their  appearance  in  print"  [17771.  This  "  long  before  "  may  have 
been  after  the  passage  of  the  Boston  Port  Bill  in  1774,  and  those  letters,  If  now- 
produced,  might  not  be  in  the  handwriting  of  Montcalm.  It  was  reserved 
for  Mr.  Francis  Parkman,  the  historian,  in  Ib69,  to  very  nearly  settle  the  ques 
tion  of  the  likelihood  of  the  originals  ever  turning  up.  While  at  Paris  in 
the  spring  of  that  year  he  had  interviews  with  the  present  Marquis  de  Montcalm, 
who  showed  him  many  letters  of  his  ancestor,  and  among  them  the  letter  of 
the  26th  August  to  M.  Mole".  Mr.  Parkman  took  a  copy  of  it  under  the  impression 
that  it  was  in  the  autograph  of  the  old  Marquis,  but  subsequent  correspondence 
with  the  present  Marquis  showed  that  the  letter  is  not  in  the  handwriting  of 
his  ancestor,  thus  knocking  away  what  may  perhaps  be  considered  the  last  prop 
of  the  authenticity  of  the  letters.  Those  who  wish  to  pursue  the  subject  further 
are  referred  to  the  admirable  paper  tilling  17  pages  in  the  Procetdings  of  the 
Massachusetts  Historical  Society  for  June,  .July,  and  August  1869,  pp. '112-128, 
published  in  December,  to  all  reasonable  appearances  settling  the  question.  A 
good  thing  too  that  the  question  is  now  settled,  'or  since  the  new  life  given  to  the 
fiction  by  Mr.  Carlyle,  it  has  found  its  way  into  Maunder  and  other  biographical 
dictionaries  and  into  encyclopaedias,  at  the  expense  of  the  Truth  of  History.

came  popular,  and  the  entire  edition  was  soon  spread.  The  book,  read  in  the  light 
of  to-day  in  this  country,  is  an  uncommon  curiosity,  more  provocative  of  smiles 
than  fro'wns.  A  good  number  of  the  poems  and  poetical  epistles,  as  well  as 
some  of  the  occasional  pieces  in  prose,  were  written  during  the  Poet's  travels  in 
America.  His  own  youthful  importance  seems  to  have  been  dwarfed  for  the 
first  time  in  his  life  by  Niagara,  and  hence  his  dislike  to  the  whole  country. 
He  was  nowhere  properly  appreciated,  not  even  in  Washington,  with  its  Tiber, 
and  streets  of  magnificent  distances,  but  in  Canada  he  stood  on  his  own  soil 
[dirt]  and  threw  it,  and  felt  happier.  Some  of  his  finer  poems,  as,  for  instance, 
the  Canadian  Boat  Song,  are  in  this  volume,  but  they  are  so  mixed  up  with 
Tom  Moore  unrefined,  that  the  volume  as  a  whole  is  an  unfortunate  monument 
to  the  great  Irish  Poet.  He  wrote  spitefully,  and  shortly  after,  on  publishing  his 
volume,  at  three  times  the  ordinary  price,  wrote  in  his  preface,  respecting 
his  productions  in  America,  "  And  though  prudence  might  have  dictated  gentler 
language,  truth,  I  think,  would  have  justified  severer."  He  lived  to  think  dif 
ferently.  In  his  last  illness,  on  receiving  from  the  writer  a  box  of  Boston 
Crackers,  the  aged  Poet  sent  back  words  of  thanks,  adding  playfully,  that  he 
never  enjoyed  anything  with  better  relish,  except  perhaps  the  news  that  his 
Poems  had  been  reprinted  in  America,  and  were  read  with  interest  on  the  banks 
of  the  Ohio.

The  above  are  two  of  the  best  editions  of  this  most  extraordinary  work ;  a  com 
plete  biography  of  the  VIRGIN,  giving  the  most  minute  and  authentic  details 
of  her  life,  and  as  it  is  asserted,  written  by  a  special  revelation.  It  records  facts, 
dates,  events,  and  divers  proceedings,  such  for  instance  as  the  visit  of  the  Vir

who  vainly  endeavored  to  impede  her  progress.  One  of  these  angels  after 
wards  served  in  the  guard  of  the  Madre  AGREDA.  The  work  narrowly  escaped 
the  Index,  for  it  was  at  first  bitterly  opposed  by  many  of  the  Church,  and  as 
warmly  advocated  by  others.  At  first  it  was  condemned  by  the  Inquisition,  but 
afterwards  was  licensed.  Many  works  have  been  written  for  and  against  it.  Fi 
nally  it  triumphed  over  all  its  enemies,  and  is  now  received  as  thoroughly  ortho

Compiler,  M.  Navarrete.  The  Chief  Members  of  the  Geographical  Society  of

Jomard,  Labouderie,  Letronne,  de  Rossel,  Saint-Martin,  Walckenaer,  Humboldt, 
etc.,  added  notes  and  explanations,  so  that,  on  the  whole,  the  work  is  a  most 
valuable  companion  for  the  Student  of  the  Original  Spanish,  or  substitute  for  it.

This  beautiful  book  comprises  a  system  of  Political  Economy,  calculated  for  the 
meridian  of  the  Kingdom  of  Old  Castile.  It  is  most  interesting  and  contains 
incidental!}'  many  allusions  to  America  and  its  influence  upon  Spain.  The  au 
thor  considers  in  his  seventh  and  eighth  Discourses  the  two  great  causes  of 
the  Decrease  of  Population  of  Spain,  and  particularly  Castile.  The  one  is  the 
Expulsion  of  the  Moors  and  the  Jews,  and  the  other 'is  the  new  Discoveries  and 
Colonies  in  America.  The  title-page  designed  by  F.  Agus.  Leonardo,  and  en 
graved  by  Alardo  de  Pompa  is  peculiar,  being  an  architectural  design  sur 
mounted  by  the  arms  of  Leon  and  Castile  supported  on  either  side  by  figures  of 
Wisdom  and  Prudence,  while  between  columns  one  on  each  side  stand  portraits 
of  the  two  brothers  of  the  author:  Alonso  Mena  Navarrete  the  eldest  brother, 
and  Alonso  Navarrete,  proto-Martyr,  both  of  the  Order  of  Saint  Domingo  in

1399  NEW  ENGLAND.  ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  REC- 
ORDS  of  the  CORPORATION  FOR  NEW  ENGLAND,  IN  LONDON, 
(afterwards  called)  THE  COMPANY  FOR  PROPAGATION  OF  THE 
GOSPELL  IN  NEW  ENGLAND,  from  the  sixteenth  of  February 
1655  to  the  4th  of  February  1 685,  being  the  original  autograph 
minutes  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  Corporation,  for  thirty  years, 
by  five  successive  Secretaries,  comprising  120  leaves,  or  240 
folio  pages,  generally  in  good  preservation  and  legible,  but 
some  leaves  at  the  beginning  slightly  mutilated.  Bound  in 
white  vellum,  never  printed,  and  never  skimmed  with  permis 
sion  by  any  editor  or  writer.  Folio,  1655-1685 

It  is  not  easy  to  overestimate  the  historical  value  and  literary  importance  of 
original  unpublished  manuscripts  of  this  kind.  When  it  is  remembered  what 
this  Corporation  of  New  England  was  in  London,  what  good  friends  of  New 
England  composed  it,  for  whom  it  labored,  how  much  money  it  raised  and  re 
mitted  to  Boston,  how  much  good  it  accomplished;  how  it  befriended,  encour 
aged,  and  backed  the  Commissioners  of  the  United  Colonies;  how  it  found  out, 
elected,  and  supported  Eliot,  and  befriended  Mayhew;  how  it  clothed,  fed, 
physicked  and  educMted  the  praying  Indians;  how  it  encouraged  and  paid  for 
the  printing  of  the  Bible,  and  many  other  books,  in  the  Indian  language;  how 
it  selected  and  sent  over  Marmaduke  Johnson  to  print  at  Cambridge;  how  it 
helped  the  College,  and  supported  Missionaries  both  to  the  Colonists  and  the 
Savages;  how  it  kept  the  Church  at  home  alive  to  the  wants  of  the  Mission  in 
New  England  and  printed  all  the  Progresses  of  the  Gospel  among  the  Indians: 
when  all  these  memories  are  brought  home  to  our  business  and  bosoms,  perhaps 
some  other  Coloration  in  New  Knyland  will  see  enough  in  the  Volume  to  secure 
it,  and  give  to  the  world,  through  the  press,  its  contents  in  a  neat  volume,  and 
so  repay  an  instalment  of  the  interest  on  the  great  debt  of  gratitude  so  long 
over-due  to  that  brave  Old  Cromwellian  Corporation.  This  volume  has  long 
sued  in  vain  for  appreciation  and  a  home  in  this  country,  like  the  Hakluyt  Man 
uscript  of  1584,  the  Walter  Ludd  of  1507,  the  Logbook  of  Capt.  Luke  Foxe,  the 
Dinwiddie  and  Washington  Papers  of  1751-1758,  the  Private  Record  Book  of 
Dieskau  and  Montcalm  of  1755-1759,  and  honest  old  Gorton's  answer  to  Morton 
in  1669.  As  they  become  lost  to  America  they  become  precious  and  worthy  of 
printing.  It  is  impossible  to  give  any  adequate  idea  of  the  value  of  this  volume 
by  a  mere  description,  for  though  it  contains  much  that  is  now  irrelevant  to 
NW  England  history,  yet  it  all  illustrates  the  history  of  the  Corporation.  A  few 
extracts  may  interest  the  reader. 

"  14  April  1660.  That  it  be  considered  by  Mr.  Tresr  and  such  others  as  hee 
shall  thinke  titt  to  prepare  some  propositions  in  writing  ag*  the  next  Cort  to  be

Bible  in  the  Indian  language  in  N.  E.  for  the  best  advantage  of  the  worke." 

"  21  of  April  1660.  "  Mr.  Tresr  reports  that  in  pursuance  of  the  Order  and  desire

to  give  security  vnto  the  Corporation  to  perform  these  Agreemts  abovementioned. 
And  it  is  ordered  that  Articles  bee  forthwith  prepared  accordinge  to  the  agree

"May  22,  1660.  Whereas  it  appeares  that  Mr.  Tho.  Bell,  cue  of  the  Memb»  of 
this  Corporation  hath  pd  five  pounds  for  the  passage  of  Marmaduke  Johnson

One  of  the  rarest  and  most  important  books  pertaining  to  New  England  History 
and  Church  Courses.  It  opens  with  an  historical  Preface  addressed  especially 
to  the  Churches  of  Massachusetts  Colony  giving  a  history  of  the  Platform  of 
Church  Discipline  agreed  upon  by  a  Synod  at  Cambridge  in  1648,  and'quoting 
the  works  of  many  of  the  Lord's  Worthies  in  New  England,  respecting  the  great 
subject  of  the  baptism  of  infants  and  the  infants  of  Church  Members,  and  the 
Consociation  of  Churches,  12  pp.  Then  follows  "  The  Answer  of  the  Elders 
and  other  Messengers  of  the  Churches,  assembled  at  Boston,  1662,  to  the  [two] 
Questions  propounded  to  them  by  Order  of  the  Honoured  General  Court,"  re 
specting  Baptism  and  a  Consociation  of  Churches,  18  pp.  But  the  Synod  was 
not  unanimous.  There  was  a  Minority  who  made  an  adverse  Report  which

there  were  several  Sessions  afterwards.  This  Script  or  Treatise  falling  into  the 
hands  of  a  Friend  to  the  Truth  [Chauncy  ?]  and  the  contents  thereof,  &c.,  was 
published  for  the  Churches  good,  although  without  any  Commission  from  the 
Dissenting  Brethren ;  which  they  are  desired  not  to  be  offended  with.  Where 
in  there  is  an  Answer  to  the  Arguments  alleadged  by  the  Synod."  The  first  7 
pages  of  this  is  a  Preface  signed  Philalethes  [President  Chauncy  of  Harvard  Col 
lege]  giving  reasons  for  publishing  this  dissent.  Then  on  p.  8  comes  the  Re 
port  addressed  to  Gov.  ENDICOTT.  It  pertains  only  to  the  first  question  of  Bap 
tism,  the  two  parties  agreeing  substantially  about  Consociation.  The  ques 
tion  of  Baptism  then  a  political  one,  exercised  the  Great  and  General  Court  as 
much  as  the  sale  of  liquor  has  recently.

Don  Francisco  has  made  a  very  amusing  book,  if  not  absolutely  instructive.  It 
was  compiled  mainly  from  the  best  English  authors,  with  a  careful  examination 
of  standard  maps  and  charts.  It  was  just  in  the  time  of  the  American  Revolu 
tion,  when  Franklin  was  in  Paris,  Adams  in  Holland,  and  Jay  in  Madrid. 
Everybody  in  Spain  was  thirsting  for  reliable  topographical  and  geographical 
information.  This  work  was  intended  to  supply  just  what  was  wanted.  As  a  fair 
sample  of  the  topography  we  give  this  brief  extract  from  Chapter  V.  devoted

SEBASTIAN  MUNSTER,  folio,  Basilece,  1537 

This  large  collection  of  Voyages,  compiled  by  J.  Huttich,  and  edited  by  Simon 
Grynseus,  with  a  Geographical  Preface  by  Sebastian  Munster,  all  of  the  old 
University  of  Basle,  at  the  expense  of  a  Jo.  Hervagius,  a  Basil  Publisher, 
should  find  a  place  in  every  public  library,  inasmuch  as  the  original  editions  of 
the  Papers  of  which  it  is  made  up,  are  now  almost  unfindable.  Considering 
the  date  of  the  first  edition  of  1532,  the  reader  should  study  some  of  the  voy 
ages  with  both  of  his  eyes  open,  the  one  to  detect  the  mistranslations  and  the 
other  the  misconceptions  of  inland  geographers,  who  misread  the  reports  of  the 
navigators.  The  volume  contains,  1.  The  voyages  of  Cadamosto  down  the 
coast  of  Africa  in  1454-1455  ;  2.  The  first  three  voyages  of  Columbus,  1492- 
1498  ;  3.  Of  Vincent  Pinzon  to  Brazil  in  1499;  4.  the  four  voyages  of  Ves 
pucci,  1497-1504  ;  5.  Of  Pedro  Alvarez  Cabral,  1500-1501  ;  6.  Letter  of  King 
Emanuel  to  Leo  X  respecting  the  discoveries  of  the  Portuguese  in  India,  1513  ; 
The  Voyages  of  Varthema  ;  7.  Description  of  the  Holy  Land  in  the  13th  cen 
tury,  by  Brocard  ;  8.  The  Relation  of  Joseph  the  Indian  ;  9.  The  three  works 
of  Marco  Polo  ;  10.  Haython's  account  of  the  Tartars;  11.  Sarmatia,  by 
Mathew  Miechow;  12.  Muscovie,  by  Paulus  Jovius  ;  13.  Peter  Martyr's  newly 
discovered  Islands  ;  14.  Stella  on  the  Antiquities  of  Prussia  ;  15.  Letter  of 
Maximilian  of  Transylvania,  Secretary  of  Charles  V,  to  the  Cardinal  of  Saltz- 
burg,  dated  Oct.  24, 1522,  giving  an  account  of  the  voyages  of  Magellan,  1519- 
1522.  This  last  piece  is  in  none  of  the  three  previous  editions  of  1532  (Basil

1473  ORTELIUS    (ABRAHAM)   THEATRVM   ORBIS   TERRARVM. 
THEATRE,  OFTE  TOONNEL  DBS  AERDT-BODEMS  waer  irme  te 
seine  sijn  de  Landt-tafelen  van  de  geheele  Weerelt ;  met  een 
corte  Verdarenge  der  seluer.     Fine  complete  copy,  with  all  the 
original  maps,  colored,  half  calf .  Folio,  Antwerpen,  1571 

FIRST  AXD  EXCESSIVELY  RARE  EDITION,  in  Dutch,  almost  unknown  to  bibliog 
raphers.  Though  the  first  Latin  edition  bears  the  date  of  1570,  and  may  have 
seen  the  light  a  short  time  before  this,  yet  there  are  evidences  that  this  Dutch 
edition  was  the  one  in  which  the  work  was  composed.  The  maps  are  precisely 
the  same  in  the  two.  There  were  several  other  editions  in  Latin  between  1570 
and  1600  with  new  maps,  and  retouches  of  the  original  ones,  some  dated,  and 
others  not,  so  that  one  feels  not  entirely  safe  in  investigating  the  earliest  geog 
raphy  of  America  till  he  can  eye  this  or  the  Latin  of  1570,  or  both.  A  thorough 
study  of  Ortelius  is  of  the  last  importance  to  the  student  of  the  geography  of  the 
western  hemisphere.  He  was  a  bibliographer,  a  cartographer,  and  an  anti 
quarian,  as  well  as  a  good  mathematician  and  geographer,  and  what  is  of 
infinite  importance  to  us  now,  he  gave  his  authorities.  Many  of  the  rampant 
errors  that  disturb  and  puzzle  us  can  be  treed  and  flayed  by  the  help  of  Orte 
lius.  It  was  Ortelius'  famous  list  of  authorities  that  first  gave  to  Humboldt 
the  hint  that  Hylacomilus  and  Waldseemuller  were  one  and  the  same  person, 
the  key  to  his  'investigations  upon  the  St  Die  fraternity,  and  the  Vespucci 
voyages.  When  in  1862  that  other  valuable  key,  Walter  Lud's  Orbis  Specu 
lum,  printed  in  1507,  was  discovered  by  the  writer,  and  found  to  disclose  the 
secrets  of  several  of  the  St  Did  books,  and  when  he  could  find  no  record  of  it 
elsewhere,  he  was  delighted  to  find  that  it  had  not  escaped  Ortelius,  but  was 
recorded  by  him  under  the  title,  GUALTERUS  LUDOVICUS.  The  book  by  Lud 
explained  this  reference,  and  gave  us  still  more  confidence  in  the  List  though 
there  are  still  other  books  recorded  in  it  of  which  bibliographers  as  yet  know 
nothing.

8°  Printed  by  Elizabeth  Oswald,  Philadelphia,  1786 

This  is  perhaps  the  rarest  and  oddest  of  all  the  American  Books  of  Poetry.  The 
present  copy  is  in  fine  condition  in  the  original  red  morocco,  gilt  edges,  bearing 
on  the  fly-leaf  in  the  handwriting  of  Colonel  Parke,  the  following  inscription : 
"To  the  Honorable  Robert  Morris,  Esq.  Member  of  the  General  Assembly  of 
this  Commonwealth,  from  his  very  humble  Serv*.  The  Author.  Philadelphia, 
Feb.  10,  1787."  It  came  from  the  library  of  the  late  E.  D.  Ingraham,  who 
wrote  on  another  fly-leaf,  "  For  an  account  of  John  Parke,  the  author  of  this 
volume,  see  Mr.  Fisher's  '  Early  Poets,  etc.  of  Pennsylvania?  Mem.  Penn.  Hist. 
Society,  Vol.  2,  part  2,  p.  100."  The  work  is  dedicated  to  General  Washington, 
has  a 'learned  preface  addressed  to  the  subscribers  whose  names  fill  sixteen 
pages,  and  a  Life  of  Horace  inscribed  to  Dr.  Franklin.  It  is  adorned  with  an 
extraordinary  frontispiece  designed  by  Peter  Markoe,  of  Philadelphia,  and  en 
graved  by  James  P.  Malcom.  Parke  was  a  Delaware  poet,  born  about  1750, 
educated  in  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  in  1768,  entered  the  army  at  the  begin 
ning  of  the  war,  and  was  probably  attached  to  Washington's  Division.  His  Odes 
(for  they  are  not  Horace's),  are  dated  from  1769  to  1786,  at  various  places,  as 
Philadelphia,  Newcastle,  Head  Quarters,  Clove,  Arundel,  Camp  at  Middlebrook, 
Dover,  Valley  Forge,  Boston,  New  London,  Brandywine,  Roxbury,  New  York, 
Brunswick,  (Cambridge,  Baltimore,  etc.  etc.  generally  in  Camp  at  Head  Quar 
ters,  and  are  inscribed  to  almost  all  the  officers  of  the  army,  and  prominent  men 
and  women  of  the  country,  not  forgetting  even  his  personal  friends  the  servants.

1533  PENSADOR  MEXICANO    [i.  e.    Jose  Joaquin    Fernandez  de

5a  Edicion,  corregida,  aumentada,  ilustrada  con  notas  y  adorn-

morocco.  8°  Mexico,  1845 

The  author  of  these  volumes,  Don  J.  J.  F.  de  Lisardi,  has  been  styled  the  Cervan 
tes  of  Mexico  by  some,  while  Dr.  Beristain  in  his  Biblioteca^  llilpano  Americana, 
Septentrional,  calls  him  the  American  Quevedo.  He  has  written  much,  and  on 
the  whole  ranks  perhaps  as  the  best  Mexican  writer.  The  present  work  is  one 
illustrative  of  Mexican  character,  satirizing  the  faults  of  the  people,  but  always 
true  to  liberal  and  republican  principles.  This  copy  has  his  portrait  inserted. 
The  60  lithographs  illustrating  the  work  are  spirited  and  amusing.  Lisardi  waa 
born  in  Mexico  in  1771,  and  during  the  period  of  the  Revolution  wrote  very 
much,  and  chiefly  as  the  Pensador  Mexicano.

This  is  one  of  the  impudentest  books  known.  The  author's  real  name  was  Cas 
par  Plautus,  a  monk  at  Lintz  in  Austria.  In  the  most  fulsome  style,  under  his 
assumed  name  of  Philoponus,  he  inscribes  the  work  to  himself  in  a  long  and 
highly  complimentary  Dedication.  He  accuses  the  DeBrys,  in  their  great  col 
lection  of  Voyages,  of  telling  outrageous  lies,  forgetting  apparently  his  own 
whackers.  One  of  the  plates  represents  a  ship  stranded  on  the  back  of  an  enor 
mous  whale.  The  sailors  could  not  get  her  off  until  the  monks  on  board  de 
scended  from  the  ship  to  balama-firma  and  with  full  ceremony  performed  the 
grand  mass,  whereupon  the  monster  descended  gently  and  all  were  afloat  again.

This  book,  though  a  translation,  should  be  in  every  public  library 
try.     M.  Breton,  the  translator  and  editor,  was  a  geographer  and"  well  up  in  his 


subject.  Pie  at  once  detected  the  innumerable  errors  in  the  Spanish  and  French 
names  of  persons  and  places,  and  set  himself  to  correct  them.  Meanwhile 
Humboldt  in  the  Moniteur,  complimenting  the  work  highly,  as  a  whole,  pointed 
out  that  his  own  map  of  New  Mexico,  a  copy  of  which  he  had  leftjwith  the  Sec 
retary  of  State  at  Washington  in  1804,  had  been  appropriated  with  many  er 
roneous  additions,  the  responsibility  of  which  additions  he  disclaimed.  'This 
brought  out  the  Philadelphia  editor  to  explain  that  Pike's  work  passed  through 
the  press  in  the  author's  absence  on  duty.

This  highly  spiced  and  Cobbety  publication  comprising  six  numbers,  begun  in

difficult  of  all  Cobbet's  many  personal  squibs  to  find  complete.  It  grew  out  of 
a  lawsuit  with  Dr.  Benj.  Rush  "the  noted  bleeding  Physician,"  of  Philadel 
phia,  in  which  Cobbet  was  mulcted  $5,000  damages  for  slander.  He  took  it  out

If  these  well-known  POSTILLS  OF  GUILLERMUS  are  growing  a  little  out  of  date 
among  theologians,  this  edition  is  becoming  much  sought  for  by  lovers  of 
ancient  art  in  consequence  of  its  being  adorned  with  a  beautiful  title-page,  one 
large  cut,  and  156  small  wood-cuts,  nearly  all  of  them  bearing  the  signature  of 
the  celebrated  wood  engraver  URSE  GRAFF.  These  small  cuts,  measuring 
about  1J  by  If  inches,  are  very  spirited,  and  clever.  They  represent  chiefly  the 
events  in  the  life  of  our  Saviour  and  his  Apostles.  Some  few  of  the  cuts  are 
not  signed  and  some  of  them  are  repeated,  but  on  the  whole,  this  book  is  a 
mine  of  beauty  of  design.  Few  artists  of  his  day  surpassed  in  fertility  of  genius 
Urse  Graff,  He  sprang  up  on  a  sudden  about  ten  years  before  Holbein.

JAMES  THE  ANTIQUARY  of  Milan,  in  April  1506,  suggested  to  the  Dominican 
monk  Giustiniani  of  Genoa,  then  36  years  of  age,  to  occupy  his  leisure 
(otium  cum  negotio)  in  collecting,  collating,  and  publishing  in  one  volume 
the  Psalms  of  David,  in  Hebrew,  Greek,  Arabic,  and  Chaldean,  together  with 
three  of  the  best  Latin  versions  extant,  and  with  comments  of  his  own.  Ten 
years  were  devoted  to  this  great  work,  and  the  present  volume,  the  first  Poly 
glot  of  the  Psalms,  was  the  result.  It  is  inscribed  to  Leo  X  by  Giustiniani 
from  Genoa  in  August  1516.  In  the  notes  there  are  several  historical  and 
geographical  references  to  contemporary  events  of  considerable  interest,  such 
as  that  to  Ps.  29,  v.  6,  where  he  interprets  the  unicorn  to  be  a  rhinoceros,  and 
says  that  he  had  seen  a  picture  of  one  lately  brought  to  the  King  of  Portugal 
from  India.  But  the  most  interesting  of  all  the  notes  is  the  very  long  one  on 
the  4th  verse  of  the  xix  Psalm,  wherein  Giustiniani  gives  an  account  of  the  life 
and  voyages  of  his  fellow-townsman  Columbus.  There  are  several  points  in  this 
notice  which  we  do  not  find  elsewhere  printed  so  early,  especially  respecting  the 
second  voyage,  and  the  Survey  of  the  south  side  of  Cuba,  as  far  as  Evange- 


notice  which  we  do  not  find  elsewhere  printed  so  early,  especially  respecting  the 
second  voyage,  and  the  Survey  of  the  south  side  of  Cuba,  as  far  as  Evange- 
lista  in  May  and  June,  1494.  Almost  all  other  accounts  of  the  Second  Voy 


age,  except  that  of  Bernaldez,  end  before  this  Cuba  exploring  expedition 
Ferdinand  Columbus  accuses  Giustiniani  of  telling  fourteen  lies  in  this  paper, 
but  they  are  small  ones,

after  the  American  Revolution,  in  burnishing  up  their  Psalmody  among  other 
works,  discovered  on  it  many  specks  and  defects.  Accordingly,  in  June,  1795, 
Dr.  Dwight  was  requested  to  revise,  improve,  complete  and  adapt  Dr.  Watts' 
Psalms,  and  add  thereto  a  collection  of  Hymns,  from  Watts,  Doddridge,  and 
others.  In  1798,  the  General  Assembly  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  the 
United  States  initiated  steps  to  accomplish  the  same  object;  but  subsequently 
learning  what  was  in  progress  in  Connecticut,  postponed  the  matter.  Dr. 
Dwight  having  completed  his  great  work  by  the  middle  of  1799,  it  was  referred 
to  a  Joint  Committee  appointed  by  both  the  Association  and  the  General  Assem 
bly  to  examine  and  report  upon"  This  Joint  Committee  met  at  Stamford,  in 
Connecticut,  10th  of  June,  1800,  and  approved  and  recommended  this  new  ver 
sion  for  the  use  of  the  Churches  in  the  United  States.

calf.  4°  Mexico,  1812 

A  Book  of  the  highest  interest  for  the  modern  history  of  Mexico.  By  the  cele 
brated  BAJTDO,  of  the  25th  June,  1812,  the  clergy  who  joined  the  Rebellion 
were  ordered  to  be  punished  like  other  chiefs  of  the  Army  of  Independence. 
On  the  6th  of  July  following  the  insurgent  clergy  claim  their  old  immunity.  It 
is  the  object  of  this  book  to  combat  that  claim.  All  history,  sacred  and  profane, 
is  ransacked  for  precedents.  Every  rebellion,  from  that  successful  one  of 
Lucifer  down,  is  laid  under  contribution  for  authorities  and  examples.  The 
Bible,  the  councils,  the  fathers,  the  doctors,  and  the  bishops,  in  tremendous  biblio 
graphical  array,  are  quoted  and  referred  to.  As  a  bibliography  of  the  subject 
alone  the  volume  is  of  considerable  value.

Probably  no  monarch  ever  had  erected  to  him  in  honor  of  his  accession  to  the 
throne  such  a  tower  of  brilliants  as  this  volume  contains  in  honor  of  Ferdinand 
the  VI  of  Spain.  The  whole  University  of  Mexico,  the  Athens  of  the  new 
world,  as  they  delight  to  call  it,  seems  to  have  conspired  to  outdo  and  overleap 
itself  by  ingenious  trifling  in  prose  and  verse,  and  prosy  verse.  The  volume 
is  filled  with  epigrams,  polygrams,  roundrobins,  romances,  gratulations,  distiches,

the  wit  it  had,  even  if  compelled  to  live  witless  ever  after.

The  result  of  this  grand  Cromwellian  expedition  of  10,000  men  under  Gen.  Vena- 
bles  and  Admiral  Penn  (the  father  of  our  William),  was  the  acquisition  of 
Jamaica  to  the  English  Commonwealth.  The  Glory  of  God,  the  Propagation 
of  the  Gospel,  and  the  discomfiture  of  the  wicked  of  a  False  Church,  were 
the  high-sounding  rallying  cries,  while  private  gains,  wholesale  thievings, 
unchristian  selfish  cruelties,  out-Spanishing  the  Spanish  iniquities  of  the  pre 
vious  century,  were  the  mainsprings  of  action.  They  aimed  at  Hispaniola  and 
Cuba,  and  barely  secured  Jamaica.  This  tract  fills  an.  important  gap  in  the 
history  of  English  possession  in  the  West  Indies.

This  extraordinary  book  to  be  appreciated  must  be  seen.  It  is  adorned  with 
ten  elaborate  and  highly-finished  copperplate  line  engravings,  four  of  them 
large  oval  portraits  of  BIASON,  LOUVEKTCRE,  CRISTOBAL  and  DESALINES  the 
first  Emperor  of  Havti,  exceedingly  well  engraved  by  Rea  of  Mexico.  The 
remaining  six  are  historical  prints,  designed  and  engraved  by  Manuel  Lopez, 
artist  of  Mexico.  Though  intended  for  serious  high  art,  there  is  a  grotesque 
absurdity  about  some  of  the  scenes  truly  laughable.  Witness  the  murder  of  the 
young  mother  in  the  field  in  the  foreground,  and  a  landscape  of  trees  and  moun 
tains  in  the  background  (p.  33),  and  the  coronation  scene  (p.  73)  where  Desalines 
is  represented  '  high  on  a  throne '  with  his  loyal  supporters  of  sable  hue  on 
either  side,  so  dark  that  nothing  but  the  whites  of  their  eyes  relieve  the  pic 
ture.

A  book  of  considerable  historical  interest  outside  of  the  particular  religious  sub 
ject  treated.  It  fills  8  prelim,  leaves  and  386  pp.  The  Apparition  of  the  SANTO 
CRISTO  DE  CHALMA,  representing  which  there  is  a  copperplate  frontispiece 
prefixed  to  this  volume,  occurred  in  Mexico  in  1539,  and  from  that  day  to  this 
its  history  has  been  interwoven  v/ith  the  ecclesiastical,  and  is  sometimes  insep 
arable  from  the  political,  history  of  Mexico,  especially  so  far  as  the  manage 
ment  and  education  of  the  Indians  intrusted  to  the  missionaries  of  the  Order 
of  St  Augustin  are  concerned.  The  large  number  of  the  earliest  and  rarest 
books  relating  to  New  Spain,  referred  to  and  quoted  in  this  work,  renders  it 
indispensable  to  the  historian.  It  is  furthermore  replete  with  biographical  notes 
and  references,  not  easily  found  elsewhere.

There  were  five  distinct  editions,  with  considerable  alterations  and  additions,  of 
this  witty  work  issued  in  the  year  1647,  the  first  two  without  the  edition  being 
indicated,  followed  by  the  2d,*3d  and  4th.  This  third  edition,  as  far  as  the  ex 
perience  of  the  writer  goes,  is  the  most  difficult  of  the  five  to  find.

Of  the  three  impressions  of  the  large  map  of  Virginia,  first  published  in  1612, 
this  is  the  second,  and  the  right  one  for  this  edition,  before  Sparkes  Point  was 
put  in.  Of  the  nine  editions  of  the  map  of  New  England,  with  the  portrait  of 
Capt.  Smith  this  is  the  third,  before  the  portrait  was  retouched,  before  Charles 
River  was  extended,  and  before  Salem  and  Boston  were  put  in.  Very  few 
copies  of  the  editions  of  1624,  1626,  «hd  1627  have  all  the  right  maps.  The 
plate  of  the  map  of  New  England  was  much  altered  after  1627,  and  names  of 
places  added  which  were  not  given  till  1628, 1630,  or  later.  It  is  very  important 
to  have  the  right  maps,  corresponding  to  the  date  of  the  edition.

Cloth,  price  $3.50.  8°  D.  Appleton  $  Co.  New  York,  1869 

Of  this  book  one  may  read  in  the  last  Aug.  N°  of  the  Historical  Magazine,  p. 
106 :  "  This  curiously-constructed  volume  opens  with  an  Introduction  [by  Simon 
Stevens,  President  of  the  Tehuantepec  Railway  Company]  in  which  the  char 
acter  of  the  LaSere  Grant  [of  1869]  for  a  right  of  way,  from  ocean  to  ocean,  is 
carefully  described;  with  copies  of  the  Charters  granted  by  Mexico  and  Ver 
mont  ;  and  specifications  of  the  proposed  work.  Then  follow,  what  possess  most 
interest  to  us,  —  Historical  and  Geographical  Notes,  1453-1869,  the  former  by 
Henry  Stevens,  the  widely-known  Bibliopole  of  London ;  the  latter  by  some 
unknown  hand.  The  whole  is  elaborately  illustrated  with  Maps  and  Engrav 
ings;  and,  typographically  considered,  it  is  a  volume  of  great  beauty.  In  his 
Historical  Notes,  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  has  briefly  glanced  on  the  Old  World  as  it 
was  four  hundred  years  ago"  —  and  traced  the  progress  of  discovery  and  ex 
ploration  down  to"  1530,  especially  so  far  as  it  pertained  to  the  New  World  and 
its  development  and  gradual  recognition  as  an  independent  hemisphere.  He 
treats  of  the  earliest  maps,  the  mistakes  of  the  navigators,  the  blunders  of  the 
geographers,  etc.  etc.  and  endeavors  to  show  for  the  first  time  on  record,  that 
the  coast  lines  originally  laid  down  as  the  north-eastern  coast  of  Asia  was  after 
wards  adopted  as  the  eastern  coast  of  North  America.  The  effect  of  this  dis 
covery,  if  maintained,  must  considerably  modify  our  previously-conceived  no 
tions  'as  to  our  early  geography,  chronology,  and  history.  The  above-named 
article  concludes  with:  —  "Such  a  paper,  sandwiched  in  a  prospectus  for  a  new- 
railway,  is  as  unusual  as  it  is  judicious.  The  volume  which  contains  it  will  be 
sought  for  and  perused  by  hundreds  who  would  not  otherwise  have  cared  for  it;

and  it  will  be  advertised  and  talked  of,  within  Massachusetts  and  without,  as 
no  other  similar  production  has  hitherto  been.  For  that  reason  let  us  advise  our 
readers  who  are  interested  in  such  inquiries  to  seek  to  obtain  a  copy."  Only  a 
limited  number  was  printed,  chiefly  as  presents  to  capitalists  known  to  be  inter 
ested  in  the  great  project  of  Interoceanic  Communication  by  means  of  the

This  rare  and  highly  important  collection  of  Letters  from  the  Jesuit  Mission 
aries  in  all  parts  of  the  World,  deserves  to  be  better  known  to  the  American 
historians.  It  is  the  great  repertory  of  these  valuable  Letters.  Not  only  are 
all  the  celebrated  Lettres  Edijiantes' translated  and  incorporated  into  this  Ger 
man  Compilation,  but  very  many  more  are  added,  so  that  it  becomes  the  great 
storehouse  of  topography,  history  and  geography  of  India,  China,  Japan, 
Borneo,  Persia,  Turkey,  and  the  whole  of  the  Western  hemisphere.  There  are 
letters  from  every  part  of  North  and  South  America,  and  especially  the  more 
remote  provinces  of  Mexico,  of  California,  Brazil,  Peru,  Quito,  and"  Paraguay ; 
nor  do  we  fail  to  find  letters  from  Canada  and  the  Eastern  Provinces;  Maine, 
New  York,  the  Great  West  and  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi.  The  historical

Folio,  Isaac  Thompson,  Newcastle  upon  Tyne,  1747 

The  above  title  gives  no  indication  of  the  value  of  this  book  for  American  his 
tory  and  biography.  The  author  was  a  shrewd,  sharp-witted  Quaker,  born  in 
the  north  of  England;  had  his  eye-teeth  cut  while  in  the  Church  of  England 
before  he  seceded  and  joined  the  Quakers.  After  travelling  in  Scotland  and 
round  about,  he  drifted  towards  London  in  1697,  where  he  had  the  good  fortune 
to  make  the  acquaintance  of  William  Penn.  Their  intimacy  soon  ripened  into 
friendship,  and  in  the  autumn  of  1698,  Story  embarked  at  London  for  Penn 
sylvania.  The  next  year  he  made  a  progress  through  New  Jersey,  New  York 
City,  Long  Island,  Connecticut,  Rhode  Island,  to  Boston  and  vicinity,  and  even 
into  New  Hampshire,  spreading  everywhere  the  true  light  of  Truth  and  con 
founding  the  Priests.  He  interviewed  Rollon-God  Cotton  of  Sandwich,  and 
spiced  him  well.  He  is  particularly  racy  about  the  laws  of  Connecticut  and 
Massachusetts.  "  Such  is  the  great  Bondage  and  Slavery  that  People  are  in  to 
their  hired  Preachers,  who  had  noosed  them  into  a  Law  of  their  own  making, 
destructive  of  the  Liberty  of  their  Consciences  and  Civil  Rights,"  etc.  He 
found  himself  again  in  Philadelphia  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  1700,  ready 
to  return  to  England;  but  William  Penn,  appreciating  his  "abilities,  offered 
many  inducements  to  him  to  remain.  He  became  a  member  of  the  Governors 
Council,  the  Keeper  of  the  Great  Seal,  the  Master  of  the  Rolls,  the  Recorder 
of  Deeds,  and  one  of  the  Commissioners  of  Property.  On  the  granting  of  a 
Charter  about  this  time  to  the  inhabitants  of  Philadelphia,  erecting  it  into  a 
City,  Story  was  appointed  the  First  Recorder.  Soon  after  he  again  travelled 
to  New  England  and  elsewhere  at  the  North,  and  into  Virginia  and  Carolina  at 
the  South.  In  1706  he  married  a  daughter  of  Edward  Shippen,  of  Philadelphia, 
formerly  of  Boston.  He  remained  in  the  Government  of  Pennsylvania  till  1708, 
when  he  went  to  the  West  Indies  and  thence  to  England.  Altogether  nearly 
300  pages  of  this  work  are  occupied  by  the  author's  travels  and  labors,  polit 
ical  and  pious,  in  America.  Indeed,  it  is  the  largest  book  of  Travels  in  what  is 
now  the  United  States  up  to  this  time,  1708.

Faithful  Hand.  Ovid.  Trist.  lib.  5.  Strangulat  inclusus  dolor,

32pp.  4°  London,  T.  N.for  £.  Clavell,  1659 

VICTOR  HUGO,  in  his  recent  novel,  "  L'homme  qui  rt<,"  describing  the  horrors  of 
the  Press-house  of  Newgate,  has  brought  the  subject  of  this  little  book  into  ter 
rible  prominence.  That  author,  so  far  as  the  scenes  are  laid  in  England,  pro 
fesses  that  he  has  not  exceeded  the  reality,  and  that  he  has  not  gone  beyond 
the  letter  of  the  law  or  the  not  unfrequent  practice  of  the  courts.  Yet  he  has 
portrayed  scenes  of  torture  in  Protestant  England  that  were  rarely  or  never 
exceeded  by  the  Inquisition  of  Spain.  The  London  Times  of  the  14th  of 
last  October,  in  reviewing  M.  Hugo's  book,  asserts  that  the  author  has  disre 
garded  history,  and  introduced  scenes  which  it  is  impossible  to  believe  could 
have  ever  taken  place  in  England.  A  week  later,  in  the  London  Telegraph, 
of  the  22d  October,  Mr.  Swinburne,  the  poet,  comes  out  in  an  able  and  per 
fectly  convincing  defense  of  his  French  friend,  and  shows  that  it  was  the  com 
mon  practice,  when  a  prisoner  of  a  certain  class  refused  to  plead,  to  condemn 
him  to  the  torture  of  the  press  till  death,  or  till  he  consented  to  plead.  Mr. 
Swinburne  alludes  to  this  case  of  Major  Strangwaves  as  the  last  case  of  one 
dying  under  this  torture,  about  the  middle  of  the  18th  century.  He  was 
herein  mistaken  one  century,  as  to  Major  Strangwayes,  but  there  was  a  case  in 
1720,  of  Spiggott  who  submitted  to  the  press  with  much  courage  for  some 
time,  but  finally  yielded,  plead,  lived  awhile,  and  died  a  wretch  in  body  and 
soul,  two  or  three  years  later.  Several  papers  have  appeared  in  England  on 
this  subject  within  the  last  few  years,  but  this  original  account  seems  to  be  little 
known,  while  at  the  same  time'it  gives  important  details,  and  far  exceeds  in 
official  horrors  anything  written  by  M.  Hugo  .or  Mr.  Swinburne.  The  high 
social  position  of  the  murderer  and  the  murdered,  and  the  whole  chain  of  cir 
cumstantial  evidence,  are  given  in  full  in  this  contemporary  account.  For 
reasons  which  he  deemed  sufficient,  Major  Strangwayes  refused  to  plead  when 
brought  before  the  court,  and  "  persisting  in  his  first  resolution  not  to  plead, 
hears  from  the  offended  court  this  dreadful  sentence  :  — 

"  That  the  Prisoner  be  sent  to  the  place  from  whence  he  came;  and  that  he  be  put 
into  a  mean  Jlmtse  stopped  from  any  Liyht :  and  that  he  be,  laid  upon  /tis  Back, 
with  his  Body  bare,  saving  something  to  cover  his  Privy  parte ;  That  his  Arms 
shall  be  stretched  forth  with  a  Cord,  the  one  to  one  side  of  the  Prison,  the  other 
to  the  other ^side  of  the  Prison  ;  and  in  like  manner  shall  his  Legs  be  used:  And 
that  upon  his  Body  shall  be  laid  as  much  Iron  and  Stone  at  he  can  bear,  and 
more  ;  And  the  first  day  shall  he  have  Three  Morsels  of  Barley  Bread,  and  the 
next  day  shall  he  drink  thrice  of  the  Water  in  the  next  Channel  to  the  Prison 
Door,  but  no  Spring  or  Fountain  Water :  And  this  shall  be  his  punishment  till 
he  die  " 

Thus  in  the  Press-house  in  London,  in  February,  1658,  because  he  would  not 
plead,  the  prisoner  died,  his  friends  looking  on,  and  some  of  them  even  mount 
ing  the  press  among  the  iron  and  the  stones  in  kindness  to  hasten  his  horrid 
death.  Can  Victor  Hugo  over  color  these  simple  facts  V 

An  age  later,  in  1692,  Giles  Corey  of  Salem  Farms,  paid  a  like  penalty.  In  Mas 
sachusetts  a  witch's  soul  was  snaked  out  of  his  body  by  au  old  law,  while  a 


Bibliotheca  Historica.  179 

Stoughton  was  the  Chief  Justice  and  acting  Governor.  Giles  Corey  was  not 
extinguished,  but  his  story  has  become  long  after,  one  of  the  much  talked-of 
"  New  England  Tragedies"  Well  might  the  poet  muffle  the  scene  of  the  New 
England  "press-house,"  and  leave  it  to  the  passing-bell  to  announce  the  horrid 
death.  And  well  might  young  Cotton  Mather  exclaim:  — 
"  0  sight  most  horrible  !  In  a  land  like  this, 

Spangled  with  Churches  Evangelical, 

In  wrapped  in  our  salvations,  must  we  seek 

In  mouldering  statute-books  of  English  Courts 

Some  old  forgotten  Law,  to  do  such  deeds  ? 

Those  who  lie  buried  in  the  Potter's  Field 

Will  rise  again,  as  surely  as  ourselves 

That  sleep  in  honored  graves  with  epitaphs  ; 

And  this  poor  man,  whom  we  have  made  a  victim. 

Hereafter  will  be  counted  as  a  martyr  !  "  —  Longfellow.

A  rare  and  very  important  historical  work.  It  contains  the  lives  and  martyrdoms 
of  the  Jesuit  missionaries  in  the  four  parts  of  the  Globe.  Some  of  those  who 
perished  in  Asia  and  Africa  had  previously  labored  in  America.  Part  IV  is 
devoted  entirely  to  America,  comprising  pages  563  to  738,  and  contains  biog 
raphies,  some  of  them  very  full,  of  fifty-eight  missionaries,  all  of  whom  were 
put  to  death  by  the  savages  in  some  horrid  form  or  other.  These  terrible  deaths 
are  illustrated  by  thirty-nine  copperplates  in  the  text,  representing  all  sorts  of 
tortures,  each  more  horrid  than  the  last,  equal  in  refinement  of  cruelty,  almost 
to  that  of  the  Spanish  savages  who  first  explored  and  devastated  the  New 
World.  Nine  perished  in  Florida,  viz:  Peter  Martinez,  Sept.  28,  1566  ;  Louis

Quito,  Mexico,  and  California.  But  perhaps  the  most  interesting  part  of  the 
volume  to  us  is  pp.  647-694,  containing  the  lives  of  the  French  Jesuits  among 
the  Hurons,  the  Iroquois,  and  other  nations  of  Canada,  New  York,  and  the  West, 
comprising  the  biographies  of  Fathers  Isaac  Jogues,  Antoine  Daniel,  Jean  de 
Brebeuf,  Gabriel  Lallemant,  Charles  Gamier,  Natalis  Chabanel,  Cornelius

graved  by  ANTONIO  MOKENO,  Mexici  sculpsit.  The  volume  contains  eleven 
preliminary  leaves,  and  58  pages.  Aside  from  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  work 
as  one  of  the  principal  ones  upon  the  languages  of  Mexico,  there  is  on  the  tenth 
leaf  a  piece  of  elaborately  ingenious  trifling  worth  mentioning.  It  is  an  Etogio

This  exact  fac-simile,  in  lithography,  of  above  700  closely  printed  pages,  in  black 
letter,  taken  from  the  unique  copy  preserved  in  the  Baptist  College  Library  at 
Bristol,  of  the  first  edition  of  TYNI>  ALE'S  NEW  TESTAMENT,  is  a  monument  of 
the  industry  and  pious  zeal  of  Francis  Fry.  For  all  practical  purposes  in 
philology,  theology,  and  history,  it  is  every  way  as  good  and  useful  as  the 
original,  which  would  to-day  probably  produce  a  thousand  guineas  were  it  un 
fortunately  put  up  to  auction.  This  edition,  very  limited,  was  issued  in  this 
style  at  seven  guineas,  and  a  few  copies  on  vellum  at  .£42.

2090  TRACTATE  (A)  ON   CHURCH  MUSIC ;  being  an  Ex 
tract  from  the  reverend  and  learned  Mr.  Peirce's  vindication 
of  the   Dissenters.     The  Christian  Religion  shines  brightest 
in  its  own  dress ;  and   to  paint  it,  is  but  to  deform  it.     Dr. 
Nichol's   Defence  of  the  Church    of  England.     Fine   copy, 
uncut,  half  roan.  8°  London,  1786 

On  the  back  of  the  title  is,  "  This  Tractate  on  Church  Music  is  inscribed  to  the 
reverend  Doctor  Chauncy  and  the  reverend  Mr.  John  Clark,  the  Ministers;  and 
to  the  several  members  Off  the  FIRST  CONGREGATIONAL,  DISSENTING  CHURCH 
IN  BOSTON  IN  AMERICA."  The  interest  of  this  tract  is  considerably  enhanced 
by  a  knowledge  of  the  circumstances  which  called  it  forth.  Tins  copy  be 
longed  to  Mr.  S.  Toms,  the  antiquary  of  London,  who  in  1786  wrote  his  auto 
graph  on  the  title,  and  an  account  of  the  origm  of  the  book  on  the  reverse  of  it. 
It  is  well  known  that  Mr.  THO.  BRANDK  HOLLIS,  one  of  the  benefactors  of  Har 
vard  College,  had  acquired  a  wide-spread  reputation,  like  the  late  George 
Peabody,  for  wealth  and  liberality,  and  like  him  was  not  unfrequently  subjected 
to  calls  for  considerable  sums  of  monev  for  objects  in  which  he  had  either  no 
sympathy,  or  did  not  feel  that  he  should  be  bled.  Among  these  applications 
was  one  from  Dr.  Charles  Chauncy  and  the  pillars  of  the  First  Congregational 
Church  of  Boston  for  £500,  to  buy  an  Organ.  Instead  of  granting  this  extraor 
dinary  request  from  a  well-to-do*  Society,  Mr.  Brande  Hollis  caused,  it  is  said, 
500  copies  of  this  TRACTATE  to  be  printed  and  sent  over  to  the  Members  of  the 
Society,  endeavoring  thereby  to  inculcate  in  them  that  modesty  and  simplicity 
in  their  public  worship,  which  they  seemed  for  the  moment  to  be  outgrowing. 
Feeling  somewhat  diffident  about  the  abilitv  of  his  compilation  to  effect  its  ob 
ject,  Mr.  Brande  Hollis  submitted  it  to  two" friends  "  because  he  knows  the  de 
served  esteem  with  which  their  names  are  regarded  in  America."  These  two 
gentlemen,  Dr.  Price  and  Dr.  Kippis,  in  a  Postscript,  add  their  testimony  against 
the  use  of  instrumental  music  in  Churches.  Finally  on  a  small  slip  at  the  end  is 
pasted  this  quotation  from  Monsieur  le  Chevalier  d"e  Chastellux,  a  French  officer, 
who  served  with  LaFayette  in  the  American  War.  "  A  judgment  may,  gener 
ally,  be  formed  of  a  people,  by  their  mode  of  worship:  If  it  be  simple  and  mod 
est,  then  they  are  active,  and"  industrious;  if  it  be  full  of  solemnity  and  pomp, 
then  they  are  vain  and  frivolous;  if  it  be  melancholy  and  austere,  then  they 
are  tierce,  violent,  and  obstinate."  Never  before  probably  was  so  much  pious 
sarcasm  concealed  in  so  small  a  book.

A  very  funny  production,  and  one  that  even  now  some  of  the  hide-bound  polit 
ical  economists  of  the  old  world  might  study  with  profit.  The  aim  and  general 
scope  of  the  author  may  be  seen  in  his  earnest  replies  to  the  three  questions  pro 
posed  in  1783  by  the  Academy  of  Lyons,  namely, — 1.  Has  the  Discovery  of  Amer 
ica  been  an  advantage  or  a  disadvantage  to  the  Human  Family?  If' the  results 
have  been  favorable,  what  means  should  be  employed  to  secure  and  transmit 
them  to  our  successors  ?  Or  if  they  are  bad  what  means  ought  to  be  adopted 
to  remedy  them  ?  These  and  similar  questions,  proposed  to  or  by  the  Academies 
of  Berlin,  Besancon,  Metz,  Li&ge,  Chalons,  Angers,  Manheim,  Madrid,  Arras, 
Bordeaux,  Mentone  and  Toulouse,  are  all  so  discussed  and  handled  by  our 
Author,  Jean  Brun,  as  to  render  the  answers  a  perfect  Triumph  to  the  New

native  and  foreign,  are  indeed  useful  to  the  Human  Family,  if  in  fact  they  are 
not  a  part  even  of  that  family.

The  general  opinion  among  the  German  Geographers  of  this  date  was  that  what 
ever  parts  of  the  world  did  not  properly  pertain  to  Europe  and  Africa  somehow 
belonged  to  Asia.  Up  to  1533,  Vadian,  Schoner,  Fine,  and  many  others  placed 
the  discoveries  of  Cortes,  and  all  before  him,  in  Asia.  This  book,  therefore,  be 
comes  important  to  the  student  of  American  History,  not  so  much  to  trace  out 
actual  geographical  information,  as  to  see  how  befogged  the  learned  were  even 
twenty  years  after  Columbus  was  in  his  grave.

This  work  though  printed  in  Spain  is  essentially  Mexican,  being  intended,  no 
doubt,  for  the  Mexican  market.  The  author,  the  editors,  and  the  dedicatee  arc 
all  Mexicans,  as  appear  by  the  several  official  papers  in  the  prolegomena.

Fine  large  copy,  measuring  11{  by  7£  inches,  in  half  rugsia  binding,  with  many 
rough  leaves.  Small  holes  by  a  worm  and  a  nail  (easily  mended)  slightly  dis

This  German  edition  of  Bandini  is  much  rarer  than  the  original  Italian,  and  is 
particularly  valuable  for  new  views  expressed  by  the  German  editor.  The  able 
article  on  Vespucci  in  the  North  American  Review,  by  Caleb  Cushinp,  in  18—, 
was  based  on  this  translation,  he  then  not  being  able  to  procure  the  original.

This  important  tract  has  now  become  very  rare.  The  correspondence  reflects 
the  highest  credit  upon  the  Green  Mountain  Boys,  who  flocked  over  to  Platts- 
burg,  and  joined  the  small  force  under  the  Command  of  General  Macomb. 
The  British  fleet  soon  struck  to  the  gallant  Macdonough,  and  the  "  Noble  Lads

This  is  said  to  be  a  well-written  and  impartial  history  of  Mexican  independence. 
After  having  freed  itself  from  the  despotism  of  the  princes  of  Old  Spain,  this 
author,  after  recapitulating  the  struggles  for  independence,  advocates  the  bold 
doctrine  that  even  worse  tyrants  are  to  be  overthrown  in  Mexico  before  she  will 
be  a  free  country.  He  pronounces  the  power  of  the  clergy  even  more  intoler 
able  than  the  despotism  of  princes,  and  hence  the  work  "could  not  have  been 
printed  in  Mexico.

There  is  a  good  laugh  on  every  page  of  this  little  book.  The  take-off  of  Spanish 
dedications,  licenses,  censuras,  etc.  is  sufficiently  amusing.  The  list  of  authors 
quoted  and  referred  to  fills  9  pages,  many  of  whose  names  appear  nowhere  else. 
The  poem  itself  fills  about  80  pages,  while  the  notes,  built  up  in  the  truly  asinine 
order,  fill  about  175  pages,  and  almost  take  away  the  breath  of  the  reader  with 
their  learning  and  profound  scholarship.  Asses,  and  their  bouts  and  whereabouts, 
are  traced  in  every  part  of  the  world,  but  how,  not  being  indigenous,  they  come 
to  occupy  the  New  World  so  extensively  is  a  puzzle  which  the  author  has  given 
his  mind  to  most  successfully.  Lege  —

It  seems  to  have  been  reserved  for  this  poet  of  Guatemala  to  first  commit  the 
praises  of  coivpox  or  vaccination,  and  Dr.  Jenner  to  immortal  verse.  He  had 
not  only  to  overcome  the  prejudices  of  the  people,  but  the  dogged  [dogma'd) 
conservatism  of  the  Church.  If  we  may  judge  of  his  services  by  the  beautiful 
frontispiece  to  the  volume,  engraved  by  Francisco  Cabrera  of  Guatemala,  it 
must  have  been  complete.  This  engraving  is  3£  by  2£  inches  square.  In  the 
foreground  on  the  right  stands  the  friendly  cow  tied  to  a  tree  in  the  open  pas 
ture,  and  by  her  the  Doctor;  on  the  left,  seated  on  a  bank,  with  fingers  on  the 
musical  strings  is  the  poet  doing  his  pastoral,  while  the  children,  all  naked  and 
bare,  come  rushing  over  the  hill?,

An  extraordinary  volume,  of  considerable  historical  interest.  According  to  this 
pious  author  Our  Lady  of  Mexico,  between  1808  and  1812,  seems  not  only  to 
have  taken  an  active  interest  in  the  spiritual  welfare  of  the  faithful,  but  seems 
to  have  done  her  best  to  thwart  the  schemes  of  the  rebels  and  republicans  in  the 
various  provinces  of  Mexico.  She  set  her  face  firmly  against  the  spirit  of  Mex 
ican  Independency,  and  became  quite  a  politician,  but  alwny*  attached  to  the 
royal  party.  The  pious  political  frauds  contained  in  this  volume  must  ever 
give  it  a  prominent  place  among  the  books  relating  to  the  History  of  the  Mex 
ican  Revolution.

EXCESSIVELY  RARE  book.      Calf. 

4°  Sevilla,  en  casa  de  Alonso  Escrivano,  1572 

This  excessively  rare  book,  comprising  272  foliod  leaves,  is  one  of  the  handsomest 
books  ever  printed  in  Spain.  There  is  a  good  wool-cut  portrait  of  the  author 
on  the  title,  and  many  geographical,  astronomical,  and  scientific  wood-cuts 
throughout  the  volume,  one  of  the  most  interesting  of  which  is  a  delineation  of 
the  New  Hemisphere  on  tha  reverse  of  folio  95.  The  volume  is  of  very  consid 
erable  interest  to  the  student  of  early  American  geography,  chronology,  and 
history.  It  contains  the  latitudes  and  longitudes  of  most  of  the  chief  places  in 
the  new  world,  and  in  the  Calendar  a  very  full  list  of  the  Spanish  and  Portuguese 
saints  and  saint-days.  As  many  places  were  named  by  the  discoverers  from 
the  saint's  day  on  which  the  discovery  was  made,  hence" from  the  name  we  can 
sometimes  arrive  at  the  date.  This  book  is  full  of  such  suggestive  material, 
arid  therefore  must  hereafter  become  a  hand-book  for  the  student  of  early  Amer 
ican  history.  For  instance  if  the  Rio  de  San  Antonio  described  by  Oviedo  in 
1537  as  laid  down  by  AI.ONZO  r>E  CHAVES  in  his  famous  map  of  1536,  on  the 
authority  of  Gomez'  voyage,  be  identified  as  the  Hudson  River,  then  Gomez  must 
have  been  there  on  the  13th  of  June,  1525,  and  as  several  other  places  between 
Narraganset  and  Chesapeake  Bays  were  named  by  Gomez  after  saints  it  will  not 
probably  be  difficult  to  solve  the  historical  puzzle  as  to  whether  Gomez  coasted 
north  or  south.  We  find  nothing  in  this  book  to  connect  our  Jerome  de  Chaves 
with  the  celebrated  geographer,  Alonzo  de  Chaves,  but  as  they  were  both  of 
Seville,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  they  will  turn  out  to  be  father  and"  son.

A  book  cranimed  full  of  pious  and  ingenious  trifling,  licensed  as  opusculum  istud 
esse  valdepium,  daboratum  operose.  Besides  the  five  acrostics  and  3000  numeral 
anagrams,  the  volume  contains  at  the  end  a  few  literal  labyrinths  and  puzzles 
that  must  have  taken  some  devout  monk  months  to  work  up.  It  is  a  little 
difficult  at  once  to  recognize  the  holy  mystery  that  is  said  to  pervade  the  num 
eral  anagram,  but  one  can  readily  see  the  hoi}'  impudence  when  this  engine  of 
conversion  is  turned  on  the  enemies  of  the  church.  The  22  letters  of  the 
alphabet  receive  each  a  numeral  value,  A  to  I  being  the  units  1-9;  K  to  S  the 
tens,  10-90;  and  T,  V,  X,  and  Z  the  hundreds,  100-400.  These  values,  therefore, 
•when  applied  to  epithets  of  the  Virgin,  foot  up  thus:  — 

Nivea  Maria  376 

Mater  Dei  para         376 

Veneranda  376 

Porta  manes  376 

Admirabilis  Maria  376     (Page  50.) 


This  same  mysterious  numbering,  applied  to  the  enemies  of  the  church,  it  is  said 
will  reverse  the  mirror  of  holiness  and  show  the  naked  truth.  This  is  proved  by 
a  single  instance  in  the  Latin  name  Mart'mus  Luther  let  down  into  the  vul 


gar  German  pronunciation  Martin  Lauter.  If  the  corresponding  numbers  of 
these  12  letters  be  added  together  they  will  produce  the  mysterious  trinity  of 
sixes,  666,  the  very  number  of  the  Beast.  The  (Ecumenical  Council  itself  can 
not  make  any  truth  appear  plainer.

Thoygh  called  a  translation,  this  is  believed  to  be  an  original  work  by  M.  de 
frevecceur,  whose  initials  only  appear  at  the  end  of  the  very  neat  dedication  to 
\\  ashington.  The  author  spent  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  in  America;  "saw 
Washington  in  1774  come  to  the  first  Congress  fresh  from  liis  farm,  witnessed 
his  extraordinary  career,  and  in  1797  saw  him  retire  to  the  private  life  of  an 
agriculturist.  His  experience,  therefore,  enables  him  to  give  much  information 
and  personal  gossip  not  readily  found  elsewhere.  The  portrait  of  Washington 
in  the  first  volume  is  an  inteVesting  one,  "  Grave"  d'apres  le  Cam^e  peint  par 
Madame  Brehan  a  Newyork  en  1789."  There  is  also  a  fine  portrait  of  K£SK£-

A  FINE,  LARGE,  BROAD,  CLEAN,  AND  EVERY  WAY  PERFECT  AND  DESIRABLE  COPY 

of  the  rarest  and  most  precious  book  relating  to  English  North  America.  Includ 
ing  this,  the  writer  does  not  know  of  the  existence  of  more  than  half  a  dozen  per 
fect  copies.  These  are  the  copies  in  the  British  Museum  and  Bodleian  Libra 
ries,  and  in  the  private  collections  of  Mr.  Lenox,  Mr.  Brown,  and  Mr.  Christie- 
Miller.  There  is  a  very  imperfect  one  in  the  library  of  Harvard  College,  and 
one  wanting  two  leaves,  belonging  to  Sir  Thomas  Phillipps.  No  copy  complete 
in  England  is  known  to  have  been  sold  for  less  than  £100  for  the  past  hundred 
years,  and  one  has  been  understood  to  have  changed  hands  at  double  that  sum, 
and  probably  will  again  if  the  opportunity  occurs. 

It  has  become  the  fashion  within  the  last  few  years  for  bibliographers,  especially 
those  who  have  got  beyond  their  depth,  to  depreciate  and  decry  the  great  col 
lection  of  voyages  of  the  DeBrys.  They  charge  that  these  famous  engravers 
had  not  a  due  regard  for  historic  truth,  and  drew  upon  their  imaginations  for 
mot>t  of  their  fine  pictures  of  men,  animals,  and  things  m  foreign  countries.  The 
accounts  of  Virginia  and  Elorida,  being  parts  one  and  two  of  the  American  Col 
lection,  are  said  to  be  overdrawn,  mere  fancy  sketches,  and  therefore  calculated 
onlv  to  mislead  the  truth-loving  historian.  These  charges  are  based  solely  on 
negative  testimony,  that  is,  they  say,  that  none  of  the  original  paintings  used 
by  the  DeBrys  are  known  to  exist,  and  the  engravings  have  the  appearance  of 
(German  manufacture. 

Now  it  has  been  the  good  fortune  of  the  writer,  in  his  bibliographical  mousings 
up  and  down  the  world,  to  light  upon  the  original  paintings  which  DeBry  used 
for  his  Virginia,  ani  part  of  his  Florida,  and  to  turn  up  other  facts  which,  all 

Eut  together,  not  only  clear  the  DeBrys  of  the  charge  of  disregard  of  truth, 
ut  go  far  toward  establishing  their  "great  Collections  as  trustworthy,  and  as 
honestly  put  forth  by  them.  It  the  Voyagers  exaggerated  their  own  accounts,  it 
was  not  the  fault  of  the  DeBrys.  A  synopsis  of  the  story  may  perhaps  as  well 
be  recorded  here  as  anywhere,  and  may  be  brought  back  to  the  anvil,  re-ham 
mered,  and  worked  up  with  authorities  hereafter. 

It  is  well  known  that,  after  the  failure  of  the  Huguenot  attempts  to  make  settle 
ments  in  Florida  under  Kibault  and  Laudonnier  in  1562-1566,  the  artist  of  the 
latter  expedition — one  of  the  very  few  who  escaped  the  terrible  massacre  by 
Meneridez  —  Le  Moine  by  name,  retired  to  London,  resided  in  the  Blacldriars,  and 
subsequently  became  a"servaunt  to  Sir  Walter  Raleigh."  Raleigh  had  known 
Hakluyt  and  his  studies  in  Cosmography,  while  student  at  Oxford,  and  subse 
quently  in  London,  while  interested  in  the  expeditions  of  Frobisher,  Gilbert, 
and  others,  had  intercourse  with  the  author  of  Diverse  Voyages.  Again,  somewhat 
later,  after  finishing  his  little  matters  in  Flanders,  Raleigh  found  himself  in 
Paris,  and  there  was  Hakluyt  again,  nominally  Chaplain  to  the  English  Em 
bassy  under  Sir  E.  Stafford,  but  really  hunting  historical  and  geographical  mate 
rial  lor  a  greater  work  on  the  voyages  of  his  countrymen  among  the  outside 
barbarians.  Here  in  1584  Hakluyt  finished  lor  Raleigh  an  elaborate  geograph 
ical  treatise,  designed  to  induce  Elizabeth  to  grant  to  Kaltigh  and  his  friends  a

liberal  charter  for  discovery  and  plantation  in  a  more  southern  latitude  than  had 
before  been  attempted  by  the  English.  They  pitched  upon  the  territory  just 
north  of  that  which  they  found  described  in  Laudonnier's  Journal,  which  Hakluyt 
had  secured,  and  which  was  pictured  in  the  maps  and  drawings  of  Le  Moine.  A 
reconnoitring  expedition  had  been  sent  out  by  Raleigh  in  1584  under  the  com 
mand  of  Amidas  and  Barlow,  which  returned  in  September.  The  results  of 
this  voyage,  and  Hakluyt's  Paper  (63  closely-written  large  folio  pages),  entitled, 
"  A  particular  discourse  concerning  the  greate  necessitie  and  manifold  comody- 
ties  that  are  like  to  grow  to  this  Realme  of  Englande  by  the  westerne  discov 
eries  lately  attempted,  written  in  the  yerfi  1584,  by  Richarde  Hakluyt  ...  at 
the  requeste  of  Mr.  Walter  Raleigh  before  the  coming  home  of  his  two  Barkes  " 
[from  the  north  of  Florida]  etc.  secured  from  the  Queen  the  desired  Charter  for 
six  yettrs  and  no  more,  that  is,  to  make  discoveries  and  found  plantations  up  to 
1590,  when  the  Charter  expired  by  limitation.  This  manuscript  of  Hakluyt  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  writer  some  fifteen  years  ago,  and  he  tried  for  a  year  or 
two  to  place  it  in  America,  but  without  success.  It  was  afterwards  sold  to  Sir 
Thomas  Phillipps.  It  is  soon  to  be  printed  for  the  first  time  by  the  Maine  Histor 
ical  Society.  In  the  autumn  of  1867  the  writer  had  the  honor  of  calling  the 
learned  Dr.  Woods'  attention  to  it,  and  suggesting  its  publication  by  the  Maine 
Historical  Society. 

While  in  Paris,  Hakluj't  induced  his  friend  Basanier  to  edit  Laudonnier's  Journal, 
and  publish  it  under  the  patronage  of  Raleigh,  while  he  himself,  under  the 
same  patronage,  brought  out  his  excellent  edition  of  Peter  Martyr's  Eight  Dec 
ades,  with  the  best  map  by  F.  G.  of  the  new  hemisphere  that  had  been  com 
piled  up  to  that  time.  Basanier's  book  appeared  in  1586,  and  Hakluyt's  in 
1587.  Laudonnier's  Journal  fell  into  the  hands  of  Theodore  DeBry,  an  enter 
prising  engraver  at  Frankfort,  formerly  of  Liege.  One  of  the  ten  or  a  dozen 
who  escaped  the  massacre  in  Florida  was  a  young  man  named  DeBry,  probably 
a  relative  of  the  engraver.  At  all  events  the  engraver  took  a  deep'interest  in 
the  work,  and  in  3587  went  to  London  to  see  Le  Moine  in  the  Blackfriars,  with  a 
view  of  obtaining  some  of  his  paintings,  to  enable  him  to  reproduce  Laudonnier's 
Journal  with  illustrations.  But  being  at  the  time  in  Raleigh's  service,  Le  Moine 
was  either  unable  or  unwilling  to  give  DeBry  all  he  wanted.  But  Le  Moine  dy 
ing  the  next  year,  DeBry  returned  to  London  in  1588,  and  succeeded  in  buying 
of  the  widow  the  rest  of  the  Florida  collection.  But  while  there  he  fell  in  with 
Hakluyt,  who  was  then  engaged  in  bringing  out  his  first  folio  Collection  of  Voy 
ages.  Hakluj't  informed  DeBry  of  the  recent  Virginia  Expeditions  under  Ra 
leigh's  Charter,  and  suggested  that,  instead  of  bringing  out  his  Florida  as  a  sepa 
rate  book,  he  had  better  take  the  new  book  of  Master  Thomas  Hariot,  just  out  of 
the  press,  and  illustrate  it  from  the  portfolio  of  John  White,  the  artist  sent  out 
by  Queen  Elizabeth  as  chief  Draughtsman  in  the  expedition  of  1585,  who  had 
recently  returned,  dedicate  the  work  to  Raleigh,  and  so  begin  a  grand  illustra 
ted  collection  of  voyages,  the  Virginia  being  the  first  part,  the  Florida  to  be 
held  back  to  form  the  second  part.  Hariot,  White,  Raleigh,  and  DeBry  all  fell 
into  this  arrangement,  and  Hakluyt  agreed  to  write  the  descriptions  of  White's 
maps  and  pictures.  DeBry  thus*  having  filled  his  portfolios  with  copies  of 
White's  works  and  the  originals  of  the  late  Le  Moine's  paintings,  returned  to 
Frankfort,  and,  with  incredible  enterprise  and  perseverance,  brought  out  his 
Virginia  in  1590,  and  the  Florida  in  1591,  the  latter  as  the  Second  Part  of  a 
Collection  of  Voyages.  The  Florida  by  this  arrangement  had  been  enlarged 
by  additional  pieces  and  plates.  From  this  brief  statement  it  will  be  perceived 
that  thus  far  DeBry's  Collection  is  perfectly  authentic,  and  in  its  origin  is  essen 
tially  English.  In  another  place  we  think  it  will  not  be  difficult  to  show  that 
he  was  alike  painstaking  and  straightforward  in  the  materials  of  all  the  other 
parts  of  both  his  America  and  /ru/ia,  and  hence  it  must  follow  that  the  Collec 
tions  are  as  deserving  of  confidence  as  the  original  Voyages  from  which  they 
are  reprinted,  translated,  and  edited. 

But  in  reprinting  Hariot's  report,  and  illustrating  it  with  White's  pictures,  did 
not  DeBry  exaggerate  and  embellish?  The  answer  is  No, for  the  following  rea 
sons:  In  the  year  1865  John  White's  original  paintings  in  Water  Colors,  made 
for  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  in  1585,  fell  by  purchase  into  the  hands  of  the  writer,  and 
in  March  1866  fell  into  the  right  place  in  the  Grenville  Library  in  the  British 
Museum,  at  the  moderate  cost  to  the  Trustees  of  £236  5s.  Od.  'They  now  are  a 
prominent  part  of  the  world-renowned  "  Grenville  DeBrv."  A  glance  at  the 
drawings  will  show  that  they  are  the  works  of  an  artist,*and  portraits  whether 
of  men,  women,  animals,  fish,  fowls,  fruits,  or  plants.  They  are  highly  finished. 
DeBry's  copies  are  very  close,  but  not  embellished.  The  following  extracts 


Bibliotheca  Ilistorica. 

from  the  writer's  report  on  the  collection,  dated  22d  March,  1866,  when  offering 
it  to  the  Trustees  of  the  British  Museum,  are  given  with  the  hope  of  removing 
some  of  the  aspersions  that  have  been  of  late  cast  upon  this  famous  collection, 
and  encouraging  collectors  to  repose  confidence  in  the  honesty  of  the  great 
Frankfort  fa  mil}'  of  engravers.  The  drawings  are  beautifully  bound  in  two 
volumes  in  red  morocco. 

"  To  A.  Panizzi,  Esq.  etc.  etc.  British  Museum The  two  volumes, 

with  some  aids  from  the  Grenville  Library,  will  speak  for  themselves,  but  the 
following  notes  may  facilitate  your  researches.  They  are  chiefly  drawn  out  of 
Hakluyt,  Purchas,  DeBry,  Hariot,  Captain  John  Smith,  and  othe'rs. 

"The  larger  volume  contains  76  Original  Drawings  in  colors,  done  for  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh  by  John  White,  the  English  Painter  who  was  sent  by  Queen  Elizabeth 
in  1585  to  Virginia,  as  principal  draughtsman  in  Raleigh  s  famous  Second  Expe 
dition  for  exploring  the  country  and  planting  his  k  First  Colonie.'  This  Expe 
dition  of  seven  ships  was  under  the  command  of  Admiral  Sir  Richard  Grenville, 
the  ancestor,  I  believe,  of  the  founder  of  the  Grenville  Library.  Thomas  Can- 
dish,  or  Cavendish,  was  also  of  the  fleet,  and  Master  Ralph  Lane  was  the 
Governor  of  the  Colonie.  This  '  First  Colonie,1  consisting  of  109  men,  remained 
in  Virginia  one  whole  year,  and  then  returned  to  England  in  July,  1586,  in  Sir 
Francis  Drake's  fleet  returning  victorious  from  the  West  Indies,  because  the 
long  expected  supplies  and  reinforcements  from  England  had  not  arrived. 
Fourteen  days  after  their  departure  Sir  Richard  Grenville  arrived  with  new 
stores  and  new  planters,  to  find  the  Old  Colonie  deserted. 

"  To  Thomas  Hariot  and  John  White,  two  of  these  109,  we  owe  nearly  all  we 
know  of  that  grand  and  most  unfortunate  expedition,  and  it  is  not  too  much  to 
sav,  I  think,  that  to  them  alone  we  may  fairly  ascribe  nearly  all  the  accurate 
knowledge  we  have  of  the  Indians,  and"  the  natural  history  of  that  country  for 
a  full  century  later. 

"  Nothing  is  recorded  of  John  White  in  Modern  Dictionaries  of  art  or  biography, 
yet  from  DeBry  and  Hakluyt  we  learn  that  he  was  both  an  eminent  artist,  and 
an  influential  man  in  his  day.  He  made  no  less  than  four  voyages  to  Virginia; 
was  an  '  adventurer  '  in  the  '  First  Colonie; '  the  Governor  of  the.  '  Second  Col 
onie  '  in  1587;  and  the  grandfather  of  Virginia  Dare,  the  first  English  child 
born  in  North  America:  the  friend  and  agent  of  Raleigh,  and  the  associate  of 
Hariot.  Many  of  Governor  White's  Letters  and  Journals  are  preserved  bv  his 
friend  Hakluyt.  His  last  voyage  to  Virginia  was  in  1590,  as  chief  of  Raleigh's 
4  Fifth  Expedition,'  to  aid  and  reinforce  the  Colonie  of  1587.  He  returned  un 
successful  the  same  year,  and  retired  to  Ireland,  whence  he  dated  a  letter,  long 
and  important,  to  his  friend  Hakluyt,  '  from  my  house  at  Newtowne  in  Kyi- 
more  the  4th  of  February,  1593.' 

"Theodore  DeBry  in  his  second  visit  to  London  in  1588,  was  introduced  to 
White  by  Hakluyt,  who  suggested  to  that  eminent  engraver,  then  projecting 
his  Grand  Collection  of  Voyages,  to  reprint  Hariot's  k  Report  of  Virginia,' 
then  just  issued,  and  illustrate  it  with  the  pictures  of  John  AVhite.  Hakluyt 
also  persuaded  DeBry  to  delay  his  Florida  and  make  the  Virginia  his  First 
Part.  White's  pictures  were  copied,  and  the  artist  returning  to  Frankfort,  with 
incredible  enterprise  completed  the  engravings  in  a  masterly  manner,  and 
issued  the  work  in  1590,  in  folio,  four  editions,  in  four  languages,  English, 
French,  German,  and  Latin,  a  monument  of  Beauty  and  Art  to  himself,  to 
Hariot,  and  to  John  White.  Not  more  than  five  or  six  copies  of  the  English 
edition  are  now  known  in  England,  and  for  the  last  century  have  never  soldi 
complete  for  less  than  100  guineas,  and  would  now  bring  probably  200  guineas.. 
The  copy  in  the  Grenville  Library  is  the  finest  I  have  seen. 

"  These  drawings  now  offered  to  the  Trustees  are  no  doubt  the  identical  paint 
ings  that  were  copied  by  DeBry  and  published  in  1590.  Beautiful  as  DeBry's 
work  is,  it  seems  tame  in  the  presence  of  these  original  drawings.  DeBry 
copied  only  about  one  third  of  the  drawings.  The  rest  have  never  been  en 
graved,  though  some  of  them  were  used  in  the  Florida,  and  in  the  third  and 
sixth  Parts.  There  is  a  volume  of  White's  [perhaps  partly  Le  Moine's]  draw 
ings  in  the  Sloane  Collection  (N°  5270)  but  they  are  not  duplicates  of  these. 
A  few  of  them  are  similar  designs.  The  price  of  this  volume  is  200  guineas 
(.£210.)  The  price  of  the  smaller  volume,  if  the  other  be  taken,  is  25  guineas 
(£26  5s.  Qd. ;  together  £236  5s.  Qd.)  The  story  of  the  smaller  \olume  is  very 
curious.  At  the  fire  at  Sotheby's  in  June,  1865,  the  drawings  were  saturated 
with  water,  and  remained  so  for  three  weeks  under  heavy  pressure,  which  pro-

duced  these  remarkable  '  off-tracts.'    T  have  had  them  carefully  preserved, 
reversed  in  the  binding  and  sized,  at  no  little  cost  of  time  and  money. 

"  I  am,  Dear  Sir,  Yours  faithfully,  HENRY  STEVENS." 

Such  is  the  brief  history  of  this  remarkable  book,  the  only  copy  of  which  it  is 
believed  that  has  ever  beeh  offered  by  auction  in  this  country.  Its  authenticity 
cannot  be  doubted.  It  contains  nearly  all  we  know  of  Raleigh's  Old  Colonie, 
which  he  himself  never  saw,  and  which  resulted  in  an  entire  failure,  probably 
owing  to  the  unfortunate  limitation  of  the  enterprise  to  six  years.  No  such  ex 
pensive  efforts  were  ever  after  made  by^any  expedition  or  Colony  to  collect 
such  vivid  and  picturesque  material  of  the  New  World,  its  inhabitants,  and 
natural  products.

Folio,  Amsterdam,  bij  Jacob  Pieterss  Wachter,  1634 
The  author  of  this  excessively  curious  and  rare  work  was  Vice-Admiral  of  the 
celebrated  expedition  of  the  Dutch  in  1643,  under  Admiral  Hendrick  Brouwer, 
against  the  Spaniards  of  Chili;  tir?t  printed  at  Amsterdam  in  1646,  and  three 
years  later  forming  the  25th  Part  of  the  Collection  of  Hulsius.  Brouwer  dying 
on  the  passage  out,  the  command  fell  upon  HEHCKMANS,  who  was  probably  the 
amateur  compiler  and  editor  of  the  various  Journals.  This  Zee  Vatrt  Lof  is  an 
elaborate  historical  poem  in  six  books  in  honor  of  Navigation.  All  the  cele 
brated  voyages  of  the  world  from  Noah  to  1632  are  recorded  in  chronological 
order.  The  voyages  of  discovery,  leading  up  to  the  discovery  of  America,  are 
mentioned  with  considerable  detail,  and  after  Columbus  are  recorded  most  of 
the  voyages  both  to  the  east  and  the  west,  especially  the  expeditions  of  the 
Dutch  navigators.  The  voyages  to  the  north  are  «11  mentioned  in  the  text  and 
notes.  The  volume  is  beautifully  illustrated  by  an  engraved  title  and  eighteen 
exquisite  etchings  in  the  text.  The  one  at  the  beginning  of  the  third  book 
bears  the  mark  of  Rembrandt,  with  the  date  1633.

See  No.  891  of  this  Catalogue.  Hernandes,  or  the  Third  Pliny,  spent  seven  years 
by  order  of  Philip  the  Second,  in  active  research  into  the  natural  history  of  the 
plants  and  animals  of  New  Spain.  Shortly  after  his  death  his  MSS.  and"  Collec 
tions  were  placed  in  the  hands  of  Dr.  Nardo  Antonio  Ricci,  who  abridged  the 
MSS.  and  printed  at  Rome  before  1628,  a  large  folio  volume  in  Latin,  with 
manv  wood-cuts.  But  a  copy  of  a  part  of  his  abridgment  had  somehow  found 
its  way  back  to  Mexico  in  time  to  be  reabridged  and  translated  into  Spanish  by 
Francisco  de  Ximenes  and  printed  there  in  1615.  A  part  of  the  original  col 
lection  was  burnt  with  the  library  of  the  Kscurial  in  1671.  This  edition  is 
not  to  be  compared  with  the  work  of  Dr.  Ricci.  This  is  more  of  Hernandes 
without  his  editors,  more  correct,  with  many  additions,  but  wi'hout  anv  illustra 
tions.  Had  Hernandes  lived  to  edit  and  publish  his  own  work,  as  ilumboldt 
and  Bonpland  did  theirs  two  hundred  years  later,  it  is  not  likely  that  these  two 
friends  would  have  then  laid  before  the"  public  so  much  that  was  entirely  new  to 
the  philosophers  of  the  old  world.

2519  NICHOLLS  (J.  F.  City  Librarian,  Bristol)  The  Remarkable 
Life,  Adventures,  and  Discoveries  of  Sebastian  Cabot,  of  Bris 
tol,  the  Founder  of  Great  Britain's  Maritime  Power,  Discov 
erer  of  America,  and  its  first  Colonizer.  Cloth.  Portrait  and 
map.  4°  London,  Sampson  Low  *  Co.  1869 

We  confess  that  we  cut  the  leaves  of  this  beautiful  book,  from  tbe  Ckmokk  Press 
of  Whittingham,  with  an  eagerness  tbat  has  seldom  been  ours.  We  read  it 
through,  and  through,  and  through,  and  closed  it  with  a  profound  disappoint 
ment  which  has  never  before  been  ours.  We  interleaved  it  delicately  with  our 
historic  litmus  papers  and  found,  to  our  great  regret,  that  it  would  scarcely  in 
any  part  stand  the  test  of  impartial  criticism.  We  had  l«ng  hoped  some  day 
to  rind  time,  with  reverent  hands,  to  mouse  round  and  bring  to  light  some  bid 
den  documents  in  Bristol  that  might  throw  light  on  the  Cabots.  Mr.  Nicholls, 
as  a  thorough-going  antiquary,  has  dispelled  that  hope.  He  has  found  nothing 
in  Bristol  that  properly  pertains  to  that  family,  and  has  been  compelled  to 
rehash  Biddle,  Tytler,  Humbolot,  seasoning  the  dish  with  the  discoveries  of  Mr. 
Rawdon  Brown  in  Venice,  and  Mr.  Be-genroth  in  Madrid,  flavoring  the  whole 
with  a  portrait  of  Sebastian  Cabot,  exquisitely  engraved  by  Rawle,  and  an  ex 
tract  fiom  '  Sebastian  Cabot's  Map,'  of  1544,  now  in  the*  Imperial  Lib-ary  at 
Paris.  Mr.  Nicholls,  as  a  painstaking  chronicler,  has  used  all  the  materials  that 
the  active  research  of  many  antiquaries  has  turned  up  in  the  present  century, 
and  the  result  is  the  above  remarkable  title-page,  and  the  following  passages 
from  his  conclusion,  on  pp.  187,188:  "Even  where  his  [Sebastian  Cabot's] 
ashes  lie  is  a  mystery;  and  he  who  gave  to  England  a  continent,  and  to  Spain 
an  empire,  lies  in  some  unknown  tomb."  ....  "  This  man,  who  surveyed 
and  depicted  thiee  thousand  miles  of  a  coast  which  he  had  discovered;  who 
gave  to  Britain,  not  only  the  continent,  but  the  untold  riches  of  the  deep,  in  the 
fisheries  of  Newfoundland,  and  the  whale  fishery  of  the  Arctic  Sea;  who  broke 
up  a  monopoly  that,  vampire-like,  was  sucking'out  England's  infant  strength, 
and  unlocked  for  her  the  treasures  ot  the  world,  saying,  '  Go,  win  and  then  wear 
them;'  who  is  never  reported  to  have  struck  an  "aggressive  blow;  who  made 
enemies  into  friends,  and  whose  friends  were  ever  wmmly  attached  to  him  ;  who, 
by  his  uprightness  and  fair  dealing,  raised  England's  name  high  among  the 
nations,  placed  her  credit  on  a  solid  foundation,  and  made  her  citizens  res-pect- 
ed;  who  was  the  father  of  free  trade,  and  gave  us  the  carrying  trade  of  the 
world  :  this  man  has  not  a  statue  in  the  city  that  gave  him  birth,  or  in  the  me 
tropolis  of  the  country  he  so  greatly  enriched,  or  a  name  on  the  land  he  discov 
ered.  Emphatically,  the  most  scientific  seaman  of  his  own  or.  perhaps,  many 
subsequent  ages  —  one  of  the  gentlest,  bravest,  best  of  men  —  his  actions  have 
been  misrepresented,  his  discoveries  denied,  his  deeds  ascribed  to  others,  and 
calumny  has  flung  its  filth  on  his  memory." 

Now,  without  attempting  to  become  a  champion  of  "Historic  Truth,"  being  fa 
miliar  with  all  the  materials  used  in  compiling  this  book,  and  much  more  of 
kindred  character,  we  cannot  forbear,  here,  for  the  want  of  a  better  place,  to 
book  our  earnest  protest  in  behalf  of  the  memory  of  John  Cabot  and  Christopher 
Columbus,  against  such  wholesale  assumptions  There  is  no  warrant  in  the 
documents  that  Mr.  Nicholls  has  used  to  justify  him  in  placing  Sebastian  Cabot 
on  this  pedestal.  What  we  know  of  him  is  verv  slight.  It  is  only  by  making 
his  hero  tell  a  flat  lie  that  Mr.  Nicholls  makes  him  an  Englishman  instead  of  a 
Venetian,  and  in  the  face  of  the  most  valuable  contemporary  papers  brought  to 
light  by  Mr.  Rawdon  Brown  and  Mr.  Bergenroth,  he  appropriates  honors  to  the 
son  which  rightfully  belong  to  the  father,  John  Cabot.  The  simple  truth  is 
that  all  those  papers  of  1497  and  1498  refer  only  to  John  Cabot,  and  the  voyage 
of  1497.  They  allude  to  the  larger  expedition  of  1498  as  having  gone  forth,  John 
Cabot  with  it,  but  not  yet  returned.  That  Sebastian  Cabot  was  in  both  voyages 
there  is  little  doubt,  but  in  a  subordinate  capacity.  As  nothing  more  is  heard 
of  John  Cabot  it  is  not  unlikely  that  he  died  during  the  voyage  of  1498,  and  so 
his  son  took  command  —  but  this  is  not  certain.  We  have  no  distinct  account 
of  the  voyage  of  1498,  nor  have  we  of  any  subsequent  voyage  from  England  of 
Sebastian  Cabot.  If  he  'surveyed  and  depicted  3000  miles  of  a  coast,'  it  must 
have  been  in  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence. 

In  the  fall  of  1512,  having  received  no  further  encouragement  from  Henry  VII 
or  VIII,  Sebastian  Cabot  took  service  under  the  King  of  Spain,  where  he  re 
mained  for  a  great  number  of  years,  though,  perhaps,  visiting  England  occasion 
ally.  If  he  made  the  voyage  of  1517  it '  took  none  eft'ect,'  and  we  have  no  ac- 


BiUiotheca  Historica.  231 

count  of  it.  In  his  old  age  he  returned  to  England  after  the  death  of  Holbein 
and  was  made  use  of  in  getting  up  a  trading  company  to  Russia,  but  of  this 
honorable  enterprise  very  little  has  come  down  to  us  of  a  character  to  lift  him 
to  the  high  position  claimed  by  the  author  of  this  book.  Documents  may  turn 
up  hereafter,  justifying  in  a  degree  the  high  encomiums  of  Mr.  Nfrholl*,  but  at 
present  we  know  of  them  not.  Nor  do  we  know  of  any  one  whose  "calumny 
has  flung  its  filth  on  his  memory."  On  the  page  of  history,  if  one  finds  very 
little  in  favor  of  Sebastian  Cabot  to  raise  him  far  above  the  level,  yet  no  one  has 
found  anything  against  him.  His  record,  so  far  as  we  know  it,  is  honorable. 

To  all  intents  and  purposes  Christopher  Columbus  was  the  discoverer  of  Amer 
ica,  and  is  entitled  to  that  honorable  distinction.  The  grand  idea  of  sailing 
west  to  find  the  east  was  his,  and  the  success  was  his;  let  the  honor  be  his.  It 
is  true  he  did  not  fiist  see  the  Island  of  Cape  Breton  nor  the  northern  coast  of 
the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence,  yet  he  pointed  out  the  way  to  his  friend  and  fellow- 
townsman,  John  Cabot. 

As  to  the  excellent  portrait  in  this  book  it  is  a  welcome  contribution,  but  it  ought 
perhaps  to  be  explained  that  what  may  have  been  true  fortv  years  ago  in  not  true 
now,  *'  from  the  original  in  the  possession  of  Charles  Josh  Harford  Esq."  Near 
ly  40  years  ago  the  original  portrait  passed  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  Diddle,  it  is 
understood  at  the  cost  of  £500,  and  was  brought  by  him  to  this  country.  A 
good  cop}'  was  taken  and  is  now  preserved  in  the  Massachusetts  Historical  So 
ciety.  The  original  was  destroyed  by  the  great  fire  in  Pittsburgh.  There  ap 
pears  to  be  a  mistake  in  ascribing  it  to  Holbein,  as  that  celebrated  fainter  is 
now  proved  to  have  died  before  S.  Cabot  returned  to  England  from  Spain. 
The  Latin  inscription  on  the  portrait  to  us  seems  to  point  to  John  Cabot  as  the 
first  discoverer  of  the  new  land  [primi  inventoris  terra  novffi]  and  not  to  the 
son  Sebastian. 

As  to  the  extract  of  the  map  of  Sebastian  Cabot  which  Mr.  Nicholls  has  given,  it 
is  difficult  to  account  for  the  errors  that  have  crept  into  and  all  over  it.  Out  of 
65  names  given  in  and  about  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence  and  Nova  Scotia,  more 
than  40  of  them  are  misspelled,  and  several  of  them  hopelessly  disguised.  The 
typographical  errors  and  literary  slips  throughout  the  book  are  as  unpardonable 
as  they  are  numerous.  They  are  such  as  properly  belong  to  the  author  and  not 
the  printer,  witness  the  date  1474  in  heading  of  Chap.  Ill  and  repeated,  the 
dates  1543  on  page  67,  £c.  £c.  Still  with  all  its  faults  the  book  is  an  interesting 
one.

FIRST  EDITION,  of  excessive  rarity.  It  is  permitted  to  but  few  in  these  days  even 
to  see,  much  less  to  possess,  a  fine  copy  of  the  first  edition  of  Dr.  Watts's 
Psalms.  No  English  book  probably,  except  the  Bible,  has  passed  through  so 
many  editions,  and  taken  so  strong  a  hold  of  the  people  of  New  England  OB 
this  book.
